[Bug 579069] Re: Unplugging AC power reports critical battery / auto-suspend; battery is actually full

[flan_suse]

A more accurate description of the problem: The indicator applet will
report the battery is 100% charged, but it will also say "2 minutes
remaining", in which it will suspend.

** Description changed:

  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) 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.)
+ 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.
