Public bug reported: On this machine, I have three separate batteries whose power status gets displayed in various misleading ways. - A CyberPower 1350AVR UPS (this is the battery whose status I'd prefer to see in the menubar) - A Bluetooth-connect Apple MagicTrackpad (synaptic driver) - A Logitech wireless MX Laser USB-connected mouse.
When I launch unity-control-center power I see the "Using battery power" at about 50%, but I think it's referring to the battery in the Apple Trackpad, and on the right hand side it shows Unterruptible power supply Charging - fully charged (at 100% on the meter). The trouble is, it's not clear from the "On battery power" column, where I have selected "Power off" for the action to take when the power is critically low, which battery's charge state it will be acting upon. At the moment, the "Using battery power" just below shows at 50%, but I'd prefer to see the charge state of my CyberPower UPS being reported there, or at least some indication in the power configuration settings that it's going to perform the system shutdown / power off action based on the charge state of the UPS, and not on the charge state of my Apple Trackpad (!) I guess it sounds like a strange bug report, but I can imagine other Ubuntu users seeing this with other possible configurations, and it'd be nicer to make it clear which battery charge state is the one related to the shutdown action. ** Affects: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1475089 Title: Power settings shows state of the wrong batteries.
