This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is 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" 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
(In reply to comment #0) Is this still an issue? > Description of problem: > On F16 the battery level will drop randomly, however still display an > accurate estimate of time remaining. > This doesn't seem to be acpid fault, acpid listens for ACPI events. This maybe bug in your battery monitor or the kernel itself. Please check the kernel data by e.g.: # cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent In case these values doesn't correspond with the physical meter, please reassign this bug to kernel component. > Meter re calibrates if computer is suspended and resumed again. This seems as a kernel bug. > Additional info: > acpitool reports that no battery is found. Regarding acpitool this is probably a dupe of bug 785261.
