so its probably related to the fact that I've explicitly told the battery not to charge while plugged in. Thats accomplished by:
stop=80 start=40 bat_d="/sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0" sudo sh -c "echo $stop > $bat_d/stop_charge_thresh && echo $start > $bat_d/start_charge_thresh" More info at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi and that requires tp_smapi module loaded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1231550 Title: battery status indicator shows 'estimating' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-power/+bug/1231550/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
