[Bug 455786] Re: battery indicator is wrong
Additionally, I've noticed that the more times my notebook crashes due to the empty battery (I can't note because of this bug), the lower the battery's capacity gets. So the bug will ruin my battery with the time. -- battery indicator is wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 455786] Re: battery indicator is wrong
Same problem here. KDE and XFCE battery indicators work well. And besides the GNOME battery indicator in the panel doesn't show the right icon, GNOME doesn't seem to recognize a "critical battery state". It just shows the menu where to choose from "logout", "shutdown", etc. and three seconds later the computer turns off (due to an empty battery?). What really sucks is, that then (sometimes) a lot of my preferences are deleted (as e.g. my sticky notes!). I really hope there will be a fix in the near future.

Unfortunately, neither "modprobe fujitsu-laptop" nor "acpi_osi=Linux" nor "acpi=force" helps.

[Bug 455786] Re: battery indicator is wrong
I wonder if the reason for the problem is, that acpi doesn't recognize the status of the battery. If I run j...@xylakant:/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0$ acpi Battery 0: Unknown, 45 you can see, that the status of the battery is "unknown" if the ac adapter is *un*plugged, while it is j...@xylakant:/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0$ acpi Battery 0: Charging, 43%, 00:54:34 until charged when the ac adapter is plugged. I think in the first case there should be an "uncharging" instead of "unknown". And could it be, that the xfce and kde battery indicators doesn't care if the status is "unknown" or not and just display the other (correct) informations while the gnome battery indicator stops working as it gets the information, that the battery status is "unknown"? -- battery indicator is wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 455786] Re: battery indicator is wrong
Okay, I found out some things:
1. If the ac adapter is plugged in:
j...@xylakant:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0$ lshal | grep ac_adapter
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_ac_adapter_ADP1'

(string)
2. If the ac adapter is unplugged, I get:
j...@xylakant:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0$ lshal | grep ac_adapter
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_ac_adapter_ADP1'
ac_adapter.present = false (bool)

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0'
battery.charge_level.current = 33843 (0x8433) (int)
battery.charge_level.design = 57720 (0xe178) (int)
battery.charge_level.last_full = 45299 (0xb0f3) (int)
battery.charge_level.percentage = 74 (0x4a) (int)
battery.charge_level.rate = 0 (0x0) (int)
battery.is_rechargeable = true (bool)
battery.model = 'Modelxxx' (string)
battery.present = true (bool)
battery.rechargeable.is_charging = false (bool)
battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false (bool)
battery.reporting.current = 3049 (0xbe9) (int)
battery.reporting.design = 5200 (0x1450) (int)
battery.reporting.last_full = 4081 (0xff1) (int)
battery.reporting.rate = -1 (0x) (int)
battery.reporting.technology = 'Li-ion' (string)
battery.reporting.unit = 'mAh' (string)
battery.serial = 'SN' (string)
battery.technology = 'lithium-ion' (string)
battery.type = 'primary' (string)
battery.vendor = 'Vendor12345678901234567890' (string)
battery.voltage.current = 12425 (0x3089) (int)
battery.voltage.design = 11100 (0x2b5c) (int)
battery.voltage.unit = 'mV' (string)
info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list)
info.category = 'battery' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0'
(string)
So you can see, that HAL recognizes the presence of the ac adapter
correctly, while it doesn't recognize the correct state of the battery.
If the battery is charging, all is okay, but if it's discharging, the
key
battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false (bool)
isn't set correctly. If I do this manually by
sudo hal-set-property --udi
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 --key
battery.rechargeable.is_discharging --bool true
this hasn't any effect on the gnome battery indicator (even after
killing the panel) and the is reset to the wrong value "false" after
half a minute or so.
My (humble) opinion is, that hal is setting this key by reading out the
file /proc/acpi/battery/state which contains the wrong value
j...@xylakant:/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0$ cat state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charged
present rate:2078 mA
remaining capacity: 2777 mAh
present voltage: 11498 mV
where the 3rd lines says, that the battery (while the ac adapter is
unplugged) is "charged", so it's neither charging nor uncharging, so
that the "hal-get-proberty"-values just make perfect sense. But I don't
know how to manipulate whats written into this file and I don't want to
edit it manu

OK, I managend to build my own kernel with the modified dsdt table. And it works. So I think it's only a matter of the acpi tables and not a bug in the gnome power manager.

No, that doesn't help so much, because the option to load an dsdt table via the kernel boot options has deprecated.

So this seems to be a very easy to eliminate bug. Is there any chance that this can be done in the near future? This would be very cool, since I'm too dumb to compile without errors (aside from having seemingly too little hard disk space). -- battery indicator is wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
