5 batteries listed by GNOME power manager

[Michael Doube]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

In Hardy alpha 5 using the LiveCD -

I now have 5 (!!) batteries listed by g-p-m and only one physical battery. I guess this is related to the now long-running, multi-duplicated 2 battery bug... see screenshot.

Thanks for your report, please take a look to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager to see which information you have to submit in order to get the bug fixed, thanks.

OK, now the behaviour is different: I have one battery reported but it's not responsive to events like plugging power in or out. HAL info attached:

battery.rechargeable.is_charging = false (bool)

is wrong because the notebook is plugged in and charging.

Is this a dupe of #194180?

[Michael Doube (michael-doube)]

I think so - I only have one battery listed now but it's not responsive and the power history graphs no longer log any data. Marking as duplicate of #194180.
