Hi, I am running an HP Elitebook 8460p laptop: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmisc/vac/us/en/sm/notebooks/8460p.html
I am running a fairly updated FreeBSD-10 from sources: FreeBSD 10.0-BETA2 #2 r257540: Fri Nov 1 21:41:42 PDT 2013 I am running kde 4.10.5 installed with the pkg utility from pkg.freebsd.org: kde-baseapps-4.10.5_1 Basic applications for KDE The full KDE desktop starts up and works great. I have no major problems with it. Thanks! However, if I reboot and unplug my laptop, I have one annoying problem. The KDE Battery monitor thinks that I have no battery life left, and suspends my laptop in 30 seconds. >From the OS level, everything looks fine. Here is the output of: sysctl hw.acpi.battery ==================================================================== hw.acpi.battery.life: 98 hw.acpi.battery.time: 152 hw.acpi.battery.state: 1 hw.acpi.battery.units: 2 hw.acpi.battery.info_expire: 5 ==================================================================== and: upower -d ==================================================================== Device: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_devxbatteryx0 native-path: dev.battery.0 vendor: Hewlett-Packard model: Primary serial: 52149 2011/12/23 power supply: yes updated: Sat Nov 16 17:13:44 2013 (2 seconds ago) has history: yes has statistics: yes battery present: yes rechargeable: yes state: discharging energy: 49.6503 Wh energy-empty: 1.11 Wh energy-full: 54.2457 Wh energy-full-design: 54.2457 Wh energy-rate: 20.0022 W voltage: 11.1 V time to empty: 2.5 hours percentage: 91% capacity: 100% technology: lithium-ion History (charge): 1384650820 91.000 discharging 1384650818 0.000 unknown History (rate): 1384650820 20.002 discharging 1384650818 0.000 unknown Device: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_devxbatteryx1 native-path: dev.battery.1 power supply: no updated: Sat Nov 16 17:13:44 2013 (2 seconds ago) has history: no has statistics: no battery present: no rechargeable: no state: unknown energy: 0 Wh energy-empty: 0 Wh energy-full: 0 Wh energy-full-design: 0 Wh energy-rate: 0 W percentage: 0% Device: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/line_power_hwxacpixacline native-path: hw.acpi.acline power supply: yes updated: Sat Nov 16 17:13:38 2013 (8 seconds ago) has history: no has statistics: no line-power online: no Daemon: daemon-version: 0.9.7 can-suspend: yes can-hibernate yes on-battery: yes on-low-battery: no lid-is-closed: no lid-is-present: yes ==================================================================== I'm not sure, but I think that the KDE battery monitor is getting confused that the hardware supports having two batteries, but I only have one battery installed. I see that Alberto Villa submitted this patch to KDE: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/110941/ I think this patch is related to my problem and may solve it. Has this patch been pushed upstream to KDE, or do we have it in the FreeBSD port? Thanks. -- Craig
