Gnome Shell reports incorrect, seemingly random remaining power time. #824

Open yerbestpal opened 5 years ago

yerbestpal commented 5 years ago

The incorrect power remaining time is reported by Gnome Shell. Sometimes it will say I have many hundreds of hours left, other times it will say I have 30 hours, etc. Regardless, it is never correct.

What does upower -d report?

Just trying to isolate whether the issue is upowerd or the GNOME applet.

@thiagomacieira Silly mistake, apologies. I have updated the post. I should mention that after recent updates, the uptime I have remaining now seems to just from around 1hrs - 6hrs. It is still definitely broken, since it reported 1hr 30m just minutes ago, but it current reports 5hrs.

Thanks, but you're on AC power at this point, so there's no charge or discharge rate.

Are you saying the applet tells you nonsensical remaining time while fully charged?
