This affects me too, on an HP HDX16t laptop.

I tried the PPA version of upower given above with no result. Strangely, looking at upower's dbus interface in d-feet shows that it knows my energy_rate (discharge rate) and the amount of energy in my battery, but doesn't calculate time_until_full or time_until_empty.

It reads these from charge_now, not current_now. My current_now is -1000, but I don't see how that could be causing the bug.

I'll fire up gdb and have a look at upower if I can. I've never debugged anything but C# and Python before, so it will be interesting...
