Comment 28 for bug 829980

I am working on the fix for this now. However, to ensure we fully understand the problem, please could those seeing this problem attach file /var/log/udev to this bug so I can see the raw data.

By the way, if you simply 'cat' the file(s), you won't necessarily see the extended characters since as they are generally not printable, the terminal driver won't display them. However, you can detect them by doing something like:

    grep "[^[:print:]]" /var/log/udev /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info

Or if you want to see them:

    grep "[^[:print:]]" /var/log/udev /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info | od -xc

Vim also highlights extended chars by default.
