Description of problem: I have a laptop where i can use two batteries or one battery and one dvd-rom. If i boot up with just one battery, g-p-m still lists both batteries. The missing battery is at 0% and status is missing. Shouldn't g-p-m remove this battery? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-power-manager-2.20.0-6.fc8 hal-0.5.10-1.fc8 hal-info-20071030-1.fc8 How reproducible: Every time i boot up with one battery Actual results: Show the missing battery Expected results: Should remove the missing battery Additional info: output from lshal: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT0' battery.charge_level.capacity_state = 'ok' (string) battery.charge_level.current = 51137 (0xc7c1) (int) battery.charge_level.design = 57720 (0xe178) (int) battery.charge_level.granularity_1 = 577 (0x241) (int) battery.charge_level.granularity_2 = 577 (0x241) (int) battery.charge_level.last_full = 51137 (0xc7c1) (int) battery.charge_level.low = 1742 (0x6ce) (int) battery.charge_level.percentage = 100 (0x64) (int) battery.charge_level.rate = 0 (0x0) (int) battery.charge_level.unit = 'mWh' (string) battery.charge_level.warning = 5772 (0x168c) (int) battery.is_rechargeable = true (bool) battery.model = 'DELL KP4337' (string) battery.present = true (bool) battery.rechargeable.is_charging = false (bool) battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false (bool) battery.reporting.current = 5200 (0x1450) (int) battery.reporting.design = 5200 (0x1450) (int) battery.reporting.granularity_1 = 52 (0x34) (int) battery.reporting.granularity_2 = 52 (0x34) (int) battery.reporting.last_full = 4607 (0x11ff) (int) battery.reporting.low = 157 (0x9d) (int) battery.reporting.rate = 1 (0x1) (int) battery.reporting.technology = 'LION' (string) battery.reporting.unit = 'mAh' (string) battery.reporting.warning = 520 (0x208) (int) battery.serial = '2134' (string) battery.technology = 'lithium-ion' (string) battery.type = 'primary' (string) battery.vendor = 'SMP' (string) battery.voltage.current = 12781 (0x31ed) (int) battery.voltage.design = 11100 (0x2b5c) (int) battery.voltage.unit = 'mV' (string) info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list) info.category = 'battery' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string) info.product = 'Battery Bay' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT0' (string) linux.acpi_path = '/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0' (string) linux.acpi_type = 0 (0x0) (int) linux.hotplug_type = 4 (0x4) (int) udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT1' battery.present = false (bool) battery.type = 'primary' (string) info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list) info.category = 'battery' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string) info.product = 'Battery Bay' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT1' (string) linux.acpi_path = '/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1' (string) linux.acpi_type = 0 (0x0) (int) linux.hotplug_type = 4 (0x4) (int)
Nope, I think it should still stay there as a hot-pluggable battery. If you want to change this, please email the gnome-power-manager mailing list and we can discuss with the GNOME HIG guys there.
