Bug Description
the xfce4-power-manager is having some issues in determining how much battery life is left on my laptop. primarily, if i unplug my laptop from the adapter the following message appears:
"System is running on battery power. your battery is discharging. Estimated time left is 13 Hours 59 minutes."
however, i know that my battery only last for about 2:10. after idling the computer for about 5 minutes, it now states:
"System is running on battery power. your battery is discharging. Estimated time left is 1 Hours 29 minutes."
and will then fluctuate between ~15 minutes+ more and ~15 minutes less, until the systems is at 10% charge, then it drops to 30 mins.
