           Summary: battery indicator is wrong
           Product: Xfce Panel Plugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC (x86)
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Medium
         Component: battery
        AssignedTo: goodies-dev at xfce.org

This was reported on Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-battery-plugin/+bug/181144
by: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~kjenks

This happens on Xubuntu Hardy on a Dell Latitude D830. Under the new
2.6.24-2-386 kernel, the xfce4-battery-plugin indicator does not work
correctly. The power adapter status is correct (whether it is plugged in or
not), however the percentage is wrong.

Most of the time it says 28%, regardless of how much charge the battery
actually has left. If the adapter is plugged in or unplugged, it will show 100%
for about a minute before going back to 28%.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Watch the indicator.



However, the output of "acpi -b" is always correct. This problem did not occur
under 2.6.22-14-386.
