[Bug 838543] Re: False battery warning +suspend

 

I also have similar problems with my HP 2710p running Linux Mint 12 Gnome Shell. 
It shows one battery at boot and two batteries after 1st suspend and continues until reboot.
Gnome shell shows 1st battery on 100 % or whatever and 2nd battery at 0 %. 
This causes warnings of critically low battery power and it automatically goes into suspend.
I heard somebody talking about this being a kernel issue, but then again they said that had been fixed.
I got problems never the less.
Kernel : 3.0.0.13-generic

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.
