Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

On a Dell Mini 9 with latest Maverick (i386 RC with updates), the battery indicator always shows "estimating" instead of remaining time. When power is removed, an accurate percentage value is shown.

This seems to be hardware specific. There is a very similar bug about an HP system, bug #629258, where other unaffected systems apport information has been sent.
