No time left reported for laptop battery

[Frank Groeneveld]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Using Lucid I can only see the percentage my laptop battery is at. When I click open gnome-power-statistics I see "time to empty" "0 seconds". If you need info, please ask, I don't know what to add.
