<font size="-1"> My mate in America has emailed me thus:<br>
<br>
'I bought a new laptop battery, and it's already been through a
few charge/discharge cycles. The battery monitor shows the % of
charge correctly, but it shows 0:00 hrs:mins remaining (or 0:00 to
full charge) all the time, and the low battery warning window is
always on the desktop. If I close it, it reopens. With the old
battery, the time remaining and the low battery warning worked
fine.<br>
<br>
How do I get Linux to learn about the new battery, or to reset, or
whatever is needed?'<br>
<br>
He asks if y'all have any helpful ideas? I think he is running
Mint 11.<br>
