[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#635523: acpitool: reports unknown state for battery of HP ProBook 6360B

[Nicolas Évrard]

Package: acpitool
Version: 0.5.1-2
Severity: normal


Hello,

I have installed a new laptop on a HP ProBook 6360b and for a while
the acpitool reported the correct state of the battery. But today it
started to report "Unknown, 97.00%". Charging the battery for hours do
not update the percentage.

If I disconnect the battery then acpitool correctly display
discharging and the percentage is decreasing (but the time remaining
is not computed because it stays at 00:00:00).
