battery applet says critical battery when 85-90% charged

[Grant Magnay]

Acer aspire one with ubuntu 10.0.4. When running on battery sometimes the battery indicator says the battery is critically low and shuts down netbook. When power is connected again battery is at 80 - 90% charge. Doesnt always do it.

Hi Omer,

Im new to ubuntu so bear with me. Tried this command and got

gdub@gdub-laptop:~$ $ apport collect 632796
$: command not found
gdub@gdub-laptop:~$ apport collect 632796
apport: command not found
gdub@gdub-laptop:~$

I had netbook on battery this morning and it shut down on critical battery.

Started it again and had about 50% battery left.

Are we talking about this one: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27399 ?
Is disconnection of the AC involved?

it is very similar, but it actually shuts the netbook down on critical
power. when rebooted it is normally ok.
