[Bug 270123] Re: Wrong battery status

[FAJALOU]

I am not sure if this is the same bug... but I thought I could give it a
try.

Running Lucid Beta 10.04 on a Dell Inspiron 5100.

As stated in the beginning, my battery applet currently states that the system is funny charged, with the system not plugged into an adapter for charging.
However,

louie at lrc-laptop:~$ acpi -a -b
Battery 0: Discharging, 31%, 00:48:15 remaining
Adapter 0: on-line

Which seems to be correct.

When I plug in the adapter the status of the power-manager applet does not change (still fully charged)
but:

louie at lrc-laptop:~$ acpi -a -b
Battery 0: Charging, 30%, 01:29:43 until charged
Adapter 0: on-line
louie at lrc-laptop:~$ 

Which is correct.


Attached is output of:
Output of

ls -la /proc/acpi/*/*
cat /proc/acpi/*/*/*
hal-find-by-capability --capability "battery" | xargs -n 1 hal-device
hal-find-by-capability --capability "ac_adapter" | xargs -n 1 hal-device

Once with adapter plugged in, and once with adapter unplugged.

So this seems to be a bug with the applet, and not acpi.  Any other
information needed for this (new?) but, I will be happy to give.  Thank
you team for your work on this bug!
