Subject: gnome-power-manager: When systems starts pulling from second battery the "Battery Discharging" warning pops up again
Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 23:36:55 +1100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.20.2-1
Severity: minor


On this machine (Lenovo T61) with two batteries installed (main and
Ultrabay) the system only pulls from one at a time, but when the first
is exausted and the system switches to the second the "Battery
Dischaging" message reappears.

Linked with this when the AC is plugged in it reports "Battery Charged"
straight away as the system starts charging the flattest battery first.

Thanks,
Julien

Could you tell us whether this is still happening with the latest
version of gnome-power-manager and hal?

If so, please send us the output of gnome-power-bugreport.sh.
