Package: lxpanel
Version: 0.3.8.1-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
again thanks for lxde.
The battery monitor cannot read the battery charge of my laptop. I
noticed that it looks for /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_full which
doesn't exist here. I have /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full
instead.
The energy_full information can also be found here in
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent
I fond the specification for the values that can be read from uevent:
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.txt
It looks like the difference between "charge" and "energy" is that
charge is the value in µAh, energy is the value in µWh. There can also
be a capacity value, in percent.
Here's some information from my system that I hope is useful:

Apparently, there is a new kernel interface[1] called kobject-uevent
that *may*[2] allow to receive events from the kernel when the battery
status changes, instead of polling periodically. It seems to work using
netlink sockets. I'm writing it here not to suggest to use it right
now, but just because it's something that I accidentally saw while
looking for the energy/charge documentation above. Some links:

- http://code.eikke.com/index.php?dir=kevent-dbus/
