Battery indicator shows "Laptop battery is charged" when is not

might be related to bug 467825

Yes, it is related to the bug 467825 but with the new ubuntu Lucid Lynx
distribution. Moreover, I did not find a solution either in that bug or
others related. Thanks for the information though! I hope someone find the
solution!

I have this same issue with a Compaq v3000la and an Acer aspire one, but in my case the battery indicator starts working correctly every time I suspend or restart.

Same issue for Dell Vostro 1320. When I restart and unplug battery, then plug back, it starts charging.

Same issue with Alienware m17x

Same issue with System76 Darter Ultra 3 (aka Clevo M722T) - on Ubuntu 10.04

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
