Package: acpi
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I noticed today that the command "acpi" reported strange charging and
dicharging times for my thinkpad:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ acpi
Battery 0: Discharging, 83%, 00:02:07 remaining
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ acpi
Battery 0: Charging, 83%, 00:00:14 until charged
While investigating the issue further, I noticed that the correct values
were shifted to the right, so instead of displaying a charging time of
14 minutes, acpi calculated a remaining time of 14 seconds.
I traced the issue down to the lines 289 and 297 in the file acpi.c:
seconds = 60 * (design_capacity - remaining_capacity) / present_rate;
[...]
seconds = 60 * remaining_capacity / present_rate;
Instead of converting the expression to the unit of seconds, it returns the
value in minutes (since design_capacity has the unit of Wh).
Replacing the 60 with the correct value of 3600 should fix the problem.
