Package: mate-applets Version: 1.8.1+dfsg1-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, When my laptop is on AC power, the Battery Charge Monitor shows a near-empty battery icon when the battery has fully recharged, and a full battery when it is empty. When the laptop (a Lenovo Thinkpad T60) runs on battery power, the applet works as expected: the battery icon shows a graphic representation of the actual charge level. I would expect the icon to behave in a similar way regardless of whether it is charging or not. (Additionally, when the power plug is inserted or removed, the icon isn'tupdated immediately, but I think that issue is only a side effect of this bug).I have attached a screenshot of the applet when the battery is full. (This bug, like #766749, has been submitted using a different system than where it occurs, because sendmail does not work on my laptop for some reason).
I have just set up the battery status applet on my MATE desktop (I usually work with i3, so I have it running inside an Xephyr session).
On a HP ZBook 14, the behaviour looks ok for now. I will observe this for a while.
What you could do for me is:
o install Debian jessie on your friends' notebooks...
o and test the battery status applet there
o ... so that we get an impression about different
ACPI implementations / notebook models
My fear is that we have a Thinkpad / ACPI issue here, not a GUI issue per se.
Thanks+Greets,
Mike
