Hi,

there's some sort of weird bug on Latitude's battery as it shows 5600
hours of battery time when it's discharging (gnome-power_manager says
that), here are all files' contents from /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/:

Now I just saw that it's maybe a race. Sometimes is shows correctly
(3 hours and something) and sometimes it shows wrong value (over 5000
hours).

It looks like the notification that I get when I remove the cable, shows
the wrong value and if after the notification vanishes, I put my mouse
pointer over the battery icon, then I get correctly value.

Maybe a bug on gnome-power-manager.
