No, there is no current_now. Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am using natty currently and thus am in the wrong place to report the bug. Anyway, I get
ls /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/ alarm energy_full_design power status uevent cycle_count energy_now power_now subsystem voltage_min_design device manufacturer present technology voltage_now energy_full model_name serial_number type So there is "power_now" and "energy_now", and "power_now" seems to carry the right values. If I take a look at the strings in /usr/lib/upower/upowerd however, it would rather appear that upowerd is instead looking for "charge_now". So it would seem that we have a discrepancy between the kernel file name, and what upowerd is looking for. I have no idea what the discrepancy (if any) in Maverick would be. Looks like I am going to patch the upowerd binary as a first measure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629258 Title: Battery life estimation never comes around -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
