[Daniel Ramage <838543@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also affects me, both on 11.04 and 11.10 (clean install) but not on
previous versions.  Running on a Dell E4300.  Output of upower --dump is
at the bottom of this email.

Interestingly, I've occasionally seen the default gnome-shell battery
indicator applet show the existence of TWO batteries, one of which has
0% and the other 100% (even when on AC power).  After a short while
(e.g. enough restarts or access to AC), this resolves itself and I only
see one battery, showing my actual amount of power.

Not sure if it is related, but I also get two batteries listed in
/proc/acpi/battery even though my system only has one.  I haven't seen
what happens to those BAT* folders when things are on the fritz, but the
contents of those files are also included at the bottom and look
innocuous when things are running well.

Title:
  False battery warning +suspend

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I pulled the plug on my laptop with it's battery full:

  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
  present:                 yes
  capacity state:          ok
  charging state:          charged
  present rate:            0 mA
  remaining capacity:      7200 mAh
  present voltage:         11100 mV
  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ubuntu-bug -w
  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
  present:                 yes
  design capacity:         7200 mAh
  [...]

  And suddenly got a dialog saying that it was critically low (while the
  icon top-left appears, properly, as full) and the laptop did suspend
  shortly after that.
