Subject: Battery Detection Issue on MacBook Pro 2017 with Garuda Linux (KDE
Plasma 6.3.5)


Hello,


I am reaching out to report an issue I am experiencing with my MacBook Pro
2017 running Garuda Linux with KDE Plasma 6.3.5.


Issue Description:


The battery is not being detected correctly by the system:


   -

   The indicator remains constantly at 0%, even when the laptop is
   connected to a power source.
   -

   No information about the charging state or estimated battery life is
   displayed.
   -

   The system seems to completely ignore the battery, even after multiple
   reboots.


Diagnostics Performed:


   -

   applesmc and mbpfan modules are installed.
   -

   The apple-smc-dkms module is not available during installation from AUR.
   -

   The command upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 shows
   no relevant information.
   -

   lsmod | grep -i smc confirms that applesmc is loaded correctly.
   -

   dmesg | grep -i battery does not return any visible errors.


Resolution Attempts:


   -

   Installed mbpfan for fan control: works as expected.
   -

   Activated applesmc: no changes in battery detection.
   -

   Looked for alternative drivers for battery management: no success.


Additional Information:


   -

   Dual-boot setup with macOS Ventura (battery is detected properly under
   macOS).
   -

   Kernel version: Linux 6.14.5-zen1-1-zen.
   -

   Power management: TLP is used instead of power-profiles-daemon.


I am available to provide additional logs or perform tests if needed.


Thank you in advance for your assistance.


Best regards,

Arcisse
