Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
When my battery hit 10% remaining, I received a notification reading "Approximately Unknown time remaining".
This is pretty clumsy, and is approximately stupid sounding.

The real question is why g-p-m doesn't even estimate the time remaining on these machines, like my Dell Mini 9.
