You have been subscribed to a public bug: My problem is the following, when i check the battery status in Power Statistics (gnome-power-statistics in terminal), it shows that my battery status is being refreshed every 20 seconds or so... The thing is, that it doesn't refresh the AC Adapter, and so it shows that the adapter is disconnected all the time. (clearly, if i started the computer with the adapter disconnected, if i did it with it connected, it will show it as always charging).
the command 'acpi -v' does take notice of when the adapter is connected, but fails to recognize that the battery is being charged, and power statistics don't refresh the status. Any ideas on how to solve this? The refresh on the battery side seems to be dependent (among other things) of the battery status. For example, (i restarted with the ac adapter plugged in, so it knows it is plugged, but not refreshing) when my battery got fully charged, as it doesn't recognize when the AC adapter gets unplugged, and so, it doesn't need to refresh the battery status (if it isn't losing any battery charge, because the AC adapter has been plugged all the time, why refresh it?). if i use acpi -V,with the cable connected, i get: tw@potatOS:~$ acpi -V Battery 0: Discharging, 96%, 06:14:38 remaining Battery 0: design capacity 6100 mAh, last full capacity 6400 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: on-line Thermal 0: ok, 29.8 degrees C Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 106.0 degrees C Thermal 0: trip point 1 switches to mode passive at temperature 95.0 degrees C Thermal 1: active, 56.0 degrees C Thermal 1: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 106.0 degrees C Thermal 1: trip point 1 switches to mode active at temperature 87.0 degrees C Thermal 1: trip point 2 switches to mode active at temperature 55.0 degrees C Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 100 Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 5: Fan 1 of 1 Cooling 6: Fan 1 of 1 Cooling 7: Fan 1 of 1 Cooling 8: Fan 1 of 1 If i use it, without it being connected, tw@potatOS:~$ acpi -V Battery 0: Discharging, 96%, 04:23:30 remaining Battery 0: design capacity 6100 mAh, last full capacity 6400 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: off-line Thermal 0: ok, 29.8 degrees C Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 106.0 degrees C Thermal 0: trip point 1 switches to mode passive at temperature 95.0 degrees C Thermal 1: ok, 54.0 degrees C Thermal 1: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 106.0 degrees C Thermal 1: trip point 1 switches to mode active at temperature 87.0 degrees C Thermal 1: trip point 2 switches to mode active at temperature 55.0 degrees C Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 100 Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 5: Fan 1 of 1 Cooling 6: Fan 1 of 1 Cooling 7: Fan 1 of 1 Cooling 8: Fan 1 of 1 Cooling 9: Fan 0 of 1 I dont know how to check the version of the power manager, but if i try to install it, i get: tw@potatOS:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager [sudo] password for tw: Reading package lists...
