[Bug 218094] Re: Wrong battery information on MSI S271 laptop with msi-laptop module loaded

 

Onno Steenbergen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Bug description:
  Since hardy (tried alpha 1,2,4 and beta with clean installs) the
  battery reports inconsistent data, everything ok in gutsy

  acpi -V
       Battery 1: charging, 25%, 08:11:18 until charged
       Thermal 1: ok, 42.0 degrees C
    AC Adapter 1: on-line

  08:11:18 hours until charged?! and 25% charged when it hasn't been
  unplugged for a week?

  cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/*
  alarm:                   unsupported
  present:                 yes

  The gnome-powermanager reports

  And I know for sure that the battery is 80% okee... in both cases the
  design is lower than the last full capacity..
