Thread: Detection of battery status not working

-

hi,
i'm experiencing these days has never happened before.

beginning: have acer travelmate 5730, 3 y.o., running 10.04 lts. 1 year ago changed battery 'coz old 1 died. since then, worked charm.

2 days ago using laptop running on battery; battery charged 60%. shut down , 24h battery totally broken: didn't charge anymore , 'upower --dump' said
state: critical
i kind of resigned buy new battery, when orange light became green: battery charged , working.
now, battery indicator staked 100%. tried again 'upower --dump' or 'acpi -b' commands , keeps saying battery discharging, though maintaining percentage 100% , energy top.

right i'm running on battery since 1 hour @ least, , here is:
fabio@fabuntu:~$ upower --dump

i tried use ibam , says 'no apm data available'; 'acpi -b' reports
battery 0: discharging, 100%, 49:43:22 remaining
'acpitool -b' says more or less same.

don't know else can do, except count hours use , try avoid shut down.
appreciated

i'd know if problem might related hardware issues or, rather, ubuntu's daemon has stopped working or other reasons.
forgot mention installing battery-status package didn't change much: keeps saying battery charged discharging!

i think problem battery. have battery on hp laptop picked peanuts, gives around 2 hours of power stats in ubuntu sooo wrong. yours reports has 900 odd wh of power , calculates running times of several days. if boot windows , use hp battery checker utility tells me knackered , needs replacing.

fortunately have main battery don't sudden shut downs.

how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
