Battery percentage doesn't appear

[Martijn Courteaux]

I'm using the Dutch translation.
When I click the battery icon, the mini menu appears, where the first item is the percentage of the battery.
But there is always "estimating" or in Dutch: "schatting...". But the problem isn't that my battery is broken,
because, when I open the advanced windows with all the details about my battery, the percentage is shown.

This is more a stupid error of the programmer, but very annoying. This is in some way dangerous, because
I had some times before the problem that I didn't know that my battery was THAT low. And suddenly my laptop
made a force shutdown due too few energy (without the applet notified me my battery was low, but I think this is
because of the low capacity of my battery)

is this bug related to the indicator applet or to Gnome Power Management preferences?

[Martijn Courteaux (martijn-courteaux)]

I don't know exactly, it is in the menu under the battery icon in the Indicator Applet, which can be configured by the Gnome Power Management. So, it's indeed a good question. It will be probably a gnome error.
