Comment 17 for bug 501500

I'm not sure if this is the right bug report for my bug. Comments appreciated.

I'm experiencing this/a similar problem since ubuntu 9.x. The part that bothers me most is not the wrong information (even the history of g-pm- shows the right charge level, really strange!) but that because g-p-m thinks the battery is full even though it's discharging the battery is drained until the computer dies!

Interestingly, this bug only occurs (to me) if the notebook is booted without AC and has not been connected to AC since then. Once I connect AC, the status and icon is updated and shows the right information, even if i unplug it again. Especially annoying when sitting in the train...

Is this part of the bug also happening to you? Or does anyone know about a bug-report describing my bug better than this one? I've been searching launchpad but was not successful.

Thank you for any work on this issue.
