GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 435211
battery charge% not reported most of the time
Last modified: 2020-11-06 19:55:30 UTC
Please describe the problem: Whenever I change the state of AC power (on or off), then I see a sensible battery status (66% charged or whatever). A few seconds later, however, it reverts back to "No battery present." and always shows "System is running on AC power" even when the AC power is disconnected. Steps to reproduce: Acer TravelMate 2310 + Gnome 2.18 Actual results: As described above. Expected results: I should see the battery charge%. Does this happen every time? Yes.
