Bug#650259: The problem seems to be solved using Kernel 3.2.18-1

[Paolo Scarabelli]

Hi,

It seems the bug, at least in my case, was caused by the acpi battery
kernel module reporting the battery as connected and disconnected
continuously.

Since I upgraded my kernel to 3.2.18-1 the battery icon  stopped
flipping on and off.

To me the problem is solved and the bug report can be closed.

Thank you and have a nice day,

Paolo
