[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#638970: [upower] Same problem with HP ProBook 4510s

[Paolo Scarabelli]

Package: upower
Version: 0.9.15-3

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

I have the same problem, upowerd makes my CPU run at close to 100% all
the time, the battery is reported as connected and disconnected
continuously and the only way to make it stop is to either remove the
battery or kill upowerd.

I'm not sure when it started, the battery icon appearing and
disappearing it's probably several months but only recently I noticed
the 100% CPU issue. I'm not sure, maybe I didn't notice it before
because it seems to happen mostly when I leave the laptop on overnight.

This is probably a duplicate of bug #606414 and possibly also #596721
and #619343. It seemes several other Debian based distributions are also
affected, searching for "upowerd device
removed:/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0" on google returns
lots bug reports.


Regards,


Paolo
