Package: acpitool Version: 0.5.1-3 Severity: important Hi,
The remaining capacity value is allays displayed as unknown but it should contain the value of /sys/class/power_supply/BATx/charge_now. Also the time left is displayed as 00:00:00 when discharging. This happens with all notebooks and batteries I could test so far and looks like a general bug independent of the driver.
