GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 712266
Power management with multiple batteries broken
Last modified: 2013-11-18 18:40:02 UTC
From downstream Fedora bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1029627 Image showing problem at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=823105 I have two batteries on my ThinkPad 420s. One is a 6-cell and the other is a 3-cell. The laptop firmware discharges the 3-cell one completely before switching to the 6-cell one. When the 3-cell one nears full discharge, gnome thinks the laptop is going to run out of power. As shown in the attachment, the % remaining calculation is correct, and takes both batteries into account. But the time remaining estimate is incorrect, and only based on the currently-discharging battery. So gnome keeps suspending my laptop till the firmware switches to the 6-cell battery. Once that happens, the time remaining is updated to reflect the 6-cell battery's discharge rate. This is a regression from F19. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q gnome-shell gnome-shell-3.10.1-2.fc20.x86_64
Filed against gnome-shell since gnome-power-manager doesn't look like the right place: it's not even installed in the default F20 install.

Please test with gnome-settings-daemon 3.10.2.
Yes, looks like things are fine in 3.10.2. Thanks!
