Bug Description
Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04
Fully updated packages
Kernel: 2.6.32-22-generic
The computer is an MSI Wind u100 netbook, 3-cell battery. The BIOS is flashed with the latest available firmware, which is 1.0G, released on 2010-01-04.
Upon unplugging the netbook from AC power, the panel reports that the battery is critically low (2 minutes left) even though the indicator applet also reports the battery is 100% charged; and then the system auto-suspends without confirmation. After resuming from suspend, the panel reports that the battery is 100% charged (or whatever the actual value is.) In other words, the system is doing what is set under Power Management, which is to suspend when the battery is critically low. The problem is, the battery is NOT critically low, and the notification bubble reports the battery 100% charged, but only has 2 minutes left.
Whatever information is needed, I will supply. I am not sure if this is related to the kernel or a particular package.
This did not happen on Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10, 2.6.31 kernel.

Hi flan_suse,
If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
