Click the "Laptop battery (estimating...)" label and power statistics are shown. The statistics appear to correctly show amount of energy, energy when full, energy design and percent of current energy.
Rate is always shown as zero.
The icon in the panel does change state from charging to full and several increments of discharging.
The percentage of charge and time remaining are never shown in the fly over help.
The system is a HPG60-530US and I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, Kernel Linux 2.6.35-24-generic, GNOME 2.32.0
NOTE: when I use a thumb drive and boot 32-bit Ubuntu from the thumb drive the battery indicator applet shows battery percent and time remaining as expected.
