The battery monitor does not report battery level, since it's backend (HAL) doesn't report it. It looks like current voltage is reported; but since there is no information about full voltage, it cannot calculate a percentage.
I'm opening this as a bug against HAL, even though the problems seem to be located even lower (your /proc/... output didn't report it either). I suppose it is a kernal problem, but I'm not sure; maybe someone else knows. ** Also affects: hal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: kde-guidance (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- Battery Monitor cannot read battery level https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235535 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to kde-guidance in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
