gnome power manager error on acer aspire one netbook

[michael dixon]

Binary package hint: netbook-launcher

Hello, there is a problem with the power manager when using 9.10 on the acer aspire one netbook. When the netbook is not plugged into a power source and thus running from it's battery, the power icon will show the netbook as being 'fully charged'. This does not happen every single time, but probably on more than three quarters of occasions.

Step 1 - Turn on Acer Aspire One netbook with power cable attached and start Ubuntu 9.10.

Step 2 - Remove power cable for a short time in order to drain some of the battery.

Step 3 - Put power cable back into netbook

Step 4 - Hover mouse cursor over power icon. Text will say 'Laptop Battery Charging (PERCENTAGE)'

Step 5 - Unplug charger, text will now say 'Laptop battery is fully charged' This is wrong as the battery is not fully charged.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, the issue is on gnome-power-manager, not netbook-launcher, reassigning.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GNOME Power Manager is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.

Hello

Since reporting this bug I have upgraded to 10.04, I have run the latest
updates via the update manager and this problem is still an issue for me.

As a non-technical user of ubuntu I'm afraid I don't know what Maverick is
or how I should update my system in any other way.

Thanks for you help.
