It sounds like your battery might not be reporting the correct levels. Could you run: $ (for i in /proc/acpi/battery/*; do echo = $i =; cat $i; done) | tee /tmp/battery.log and attach /tmp/battery.log to this bug report?
Also, information as mentioned in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelProblems would be really helpful. ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Untriaged Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Law Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- g-p-m can't choose the right icon https://launchpad.net/bugs/38632 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
