[Bug 411035] New: Kpowersave shows incorrect charge and state
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=411035 Summary: Kpowersave shows incorrect charge and state Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE3 AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: ismohaa@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer I have a MSI S271-laptop, and just installed openSUSE 11.0 Otherwise all seems fine, but kpowersave constantly reports battery charge to be 0%, regardless of actual charge. This is very annoying as I now have now simple way of determining the actual charge - hence I marked severity as "major". Also - I don't think this is due to exotic hardware. This used to work flawlessly on openSUSE 10.2. Furthermore it doesn't react to plugging/unplugging the power cord the first time it's done. Instead it responds like this: 1. Power cord is plugged - kpowersave shows it as plugged. 2. I unplug the cord - kpowersave shows it as plugged. 3. I replug the cord - kpowersave shows it as plugged. 4. I unplug again - NOW kpowersave shows it as unplugged. 5. I replug the cord - kpowersave shows it as unplugged. 6. I unplug - kpowersave shows it as unplugged. 7. I replug once more - NOW kpowersave shows it as plugged. I have a standard openSUSE 11.0 install with KDE 3.5 as the desktop environment + all the updates from the repositories. "rpm -qa | grep power" yields the following output: powersave-libs-0.15.20-38.1 powersave-0.15.20-38.1 kpowersave-0.7.3-100.1 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

since sysfs shows strange values What values are strange?
Ahh, it's this right: /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state:present rate: unknown /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state:remaining capacity: unknown And this probably comes from the wrong BIOS values getting ignored? I wonder why this worked on 10.2, there was another timing of reading the values? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
