Comment 133 for bug 629258

I have this problem on my HP Pavilion DV9812NR running 10.10 with all updates.

Percentage shows up in power statistics, but the power indicator context menu always says estimating. I never had an estimated time since I got this laptop over a year ago (Time to full/empty is always 0 seconds). If I remember correctly I did have a percentage in the context menu in Lucid and definitely in Karmic.

I tried Brian's fix and after rebooting the context menu is showing percentage again. An estimated time would be a nice bonus, but as far as I'm concerned percentage is all I need to know.
