Auto-detect Playstation Portable (PSP) and ovver useful options  
Written by andersja the 14 Oct 08 at 15:58. Global category: Hardware support. New
Today, when a PSP is connected to Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron), a PSP is identified as a portable music player and the same dialogue as an ipod is run (i.e. do you want to manage this in Rythmbox etc)

As any PSP owner will know, the PSP can do more than playing MP3s, so it'd be cool (although a "nice to have" if Ubuntu popped up a menu offering more sophisticated options (e.g. set date/time, reformat and upload photos, upload homebrew games (if appropriate firmware is detectable and present, offer link to URL to fix firmware if not...)

Edit title: should be oFFer, not ovver

Somehow include battery capacity in the battery charge applet  
Written by deadowl the 14 May 08 at 17:06. Global category: Hardware support. New
I get messages telling me my battery capacity when it's low. Good to know, but why not include this information in the charging applet somehow?

Perhaps, but not necessarily, alongside tips to increase battery life.

Solution #2: Improve appearance of power manager or battery charge monitor applet
Written by sucotronic the 21 Feb 09 at 17:08.
There is a windows application that has a good design and show the info in an easy to understand way:



In the bar there is a bar image with the time remaining and when you pass the mouse over it appear a tooltip with more info.

It would be great to copy this look for power manager or battery charge monitor.

Solution #3: Just add time in minutes into battery bar
Written by grofaty the 23 Feb 09 at 15:56.
Show only info about minutes battery has. See for example number 22 in following pictures as 22 minutes to end of battery.

Solution #4: Visualize time left
Written by cyberix the 23 Jul 09 at 11:35.
Currently the visuals show how full my battery is. I need this information when I want to know, if my battery is full or not. How about concentrating on visualizing time left, and using some smaller clue to show whether or not the battery is full. I'm thinking about showing a pie chart that works as an analog clock.

Solution #5: option to show battery percentage
Written by theQxQ the 26 Oct 12 at 02:40.
I like in macs the option to see the percintage of battery life left. I would like to see this implementeds in ubuntu also. or show a pie chart (like in solution #4) showing how much battery life is left. a pie chart takes less time then text, and give just as much visual info.
