Comment 3 for bug 594852

I've been digging further. It appears my issue may not be with upower.

First, my acpi data is consistent with upower --dump. Percentages match, etc.

Second, I have found notes from other users (even those using winblows) about battery information being incorrect with my BIOS.

Therefore, I believe my problem is with HP, not with upower. I recently updated to the latest (allegedly greatest) BIOS firmware version F.38, and my problems got worse. I assume that is the issue.

Sorry to put the blame where it didn't belong.

Also on a side note, I was able to create a udev rule to force the battery type to Li-ion, and that did not solve the problem, so it appears the BIOS is the root cause.

Next time, I'm buying a computer with Ubuntu out of the box. I've had it with shoehorning a decent OS into a crappy box.

Thanks for everything,

Dave
