Bug Description

Binary package hint: kde-guidance

The guidance power manager shows that I have two batteries, which i do not, which messes up the time remaining value. The program uses dbus to query for devices with battery capability, and if i do the same query manually, i get:

{"/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT0", "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0"}

So it looks like it thinks that the power supply is a battery, I dont know which part of the system is getting it wrong though.
