I didn't search that bug repo and duckduckgo for some reason didn't get me there. I will read this in more detail and comment on it. Did you try any of the config changes or are you still seeing this? Looks to me it is as yet unresolved. Oddly, I'd never seen this till pretty recently. What is the side-effect of just removing UPower? -CB ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

F30 not using extra battery on Lenovo T470s
I'm seeing some new behavior recently where my laptop shuts down hard, with no warning, at about 50% battery. After the third time it happened I took a look at the battery levels (after plugging in and restarting) and found that the main battery was at 1% and charging, while the extra battery was at 100% and fully charged. So it would seem that my system is ignoring the extra battery or somehow not tapping into it at runtime. I don't recall this ever happening in the past and I'm not sure if this is an OS issue or something lower level. Anyone seen or know how to diagnose this?
