Battery Status PPA, Finally Updated With Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat Packages

Battery Status

Battery Status is a GNOME panel applet that shows information about laptop battery state - but has a lot of extra features compared to GNOME's Power Manager icon. Battery Status applet features a battery status dialog, power statistics, CPU frequency scaling and power management preferences.

Good news for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat users: with a bit of a delay - but it's better late then never -, the Battery Status PPA has been updated with Ubuntu 10.10 packages.

Battery Status is a GNOME panel applet that shows information about laptop battery state - but has a lot of extra features compared to GNOME's Power Manager icon.

Battery Status 0.1.1 was just released, fixing lots of bugs in the initial release (which we just talked about last week). If when you first tried Battery Status it didn't work, you should really give it another shot as it's an amazing application.
