Bug#760340: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#760340: xfce4-battery-plugin: Only updates when I log in to xfce
Please keep the bug on CC:, this is not a support channel On jeu., 2014-09-04 at 00:55 -0500, Forrest Cahoon wrote: It may be xfce4-power-manager. I'm referring to the icon that looks like a battery which has a picture of a power plug next to it when the computer is plugged in. I just added a panel applet I hadn't noticed before called Battery Monitor which shows a bar for the battery level which is blue when the AC is plugged in, but green when running on battery power. That one appears to work OK. So no, not the power manager (the plugin is called “Power Manager Plugin”). As far as I know the battery plugin directly uses sysfs so if it's broken that somehow means the kernel gives it bad information. I'll try to check the plugin here. I've attached a picture: the battery picture on the left is the broken one; the bar with a percent on the right is the correctly working Battery Monitor. The left one seems to be the previous power manager, so I think you're not up to date in Jessie. -- Yves-Alexis signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

When I right-click on the panel and choose Panel - Add New Items, I do not see anything with Power in the name in the item list. Is there where you meant to look? I do have these debian packages installed: forrest@makemake:~$ dpkg -l | grep xfce4 | grep power ii xfce4-power-manager1.2.0-5amd64 power manager for Xfce desktop ii xfce4-power-manager-data 1.2.0-5allpower manager for Xfce desktop, arch-indep files ii xfce4-power-manager-plugin 1.2.0-5amd64 power manager plugins for Xfce panel As far as I know the battery plugin directly uses sysfs so if it's broken that somehow means the kernel gives it bad information.

The left one seems to be the previous power manager, so I think you're not up to date in Jessie. I'm actually running sid, and I did an aptitude full-upgrade yesterday (after I had originally submitted this bug), and the problem remains. -- Yves-Alexis

This is especially a problem when I don't notice my laptop charger has been unplugged until the battery runs out :-( You're positively certain you're using xfce4-battery-plugin and not the plugin for xfce4-power-manager?
