[Bug 38795] Re: Gnome Battery Charge Monitor not giving estimated time remaining

[Enbie]

Confirmed on Hardy, with Acer Travelmate,  wont even report accurate time/percent. but the output of acpi -b *does* report with complete accuracy every time I manually execute it.
Also percent remaining differs vastly on mouse-over to click on, does not update itself for most of the time, once minute its 98 percent then some time later it changes to 43% then its 18 then its whatever, no set pattern, it might never show 43 but show 71 then 0, even when it reports percent critical and action level, it does not turn off/hibernate or do anything, no pop up balloon, runs until battery exhausted. This WORKED fine on Windows XP and Fedora, but I wiped Fedora for Ubuntu.

anyway.....
