How reproducible: All the time it seems.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run desktop.
2. With or without a/c 
3.
  
Actual results:
(i) A/C Plugged in:

    Power applet currently shows 48% (charging) (I maye have used system down to this level when plasma-desktop took 100% of CPU).

    upower shows:

      battery
    present:             yes
    rechargeable:        yes
    state:               fully-charged
    energy:              83.44 Wh
    energy-empty:        0 Wh
    energy-full:         83.44 Wh
    energy-full-design:  86.58 Wh
    energy-rate:         0 W
    voltage:             12.599 V
    percentage:          100%
    capacity:            96.3733%


    

(ii) Running on battery

    applet still shows 48% (charging) and 'not plugged in'

    upower shows:

    battery

    state:               discharging
    energy:              83.2 Wh
    energy-empty:        0 Wh
    energy-full:         83.45 Wh
    energy-full-design:  86.58 Wh

    time to empty:       3.4 hours
    percentage:          99.7004%
    capacity:            96.3733%

  History (charge):
    1309190144  99.700  discharging
    1309190112  99.976  discharging
  History (rate):
    1309190144  24.700  discharging
    1309190114  25.533  discharging
    1309190112  26.825  discharging
    1309190110  26.847  discharging


Expected results:

  Expect applet to display info consistent with /proc/acpi/battery/...



Additional info:
Sorry - I'm not sure I found the right 'component' to file this against - what

Comment 1 gene c 2011-06-28 06:35:28 UTC
This may have something to do with sleep'ing the laptop. After a fresh reboot - the power applet has the correct information (consistent with /proc/acpi/..).

I will report back if it re-appears after sleeping laptop.

Comment 2 gene c 2011-07-04 04:22:51 UTC
Ok - I can reproduce this if I reboot on battery only (no A/C plugged in).
Rebooting on a/c - then sleep/resume - seems to work ok.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:01:06 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
