Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

On gutsy, g-p-m version 2.19.3-0ubuntu2

It seems that g-p-m counts time while my laptop is suspended in its battery profile, leading to grossly inaccurate "time remaining" estimates (such as my current "20% charged, 4 hours 30 minutes battery runtime"). The "profiled discharge time" graph has a huge spike (up to > 16 min, compared with the basically flat line at about 2 min everywhere else) around the 20-30% charge mark, which is the usual charge remaining when I resume my laptop.

This may be one of the causes of LP #120258

Here's a screenshot illustrating the distorted profile. I took this after removing the old profile (by moving ~/.gnome2/gnome-power-manager away), letting the laptop run down to about 80% battery, then suspending and waiting about an hour. Upon resume, the battery level was 72%, which you will notice is the peak of the spike.
