Hi,
I'm running - openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-Build0348-x86_64.iso, on a live-usb.
I was trying to determine the power discharge rate on my laptop while the adapter was unplugged, but could not do this.
Powertop gives me no power consumption rate as it would normally with the adapter offline and running acpi gives the following output:
linux:/home/linux # acpi -V
I do not have this command, I wonder which package provides it?
Battery 0: Discharging, 90%, rate information unavailable Battery 0: design capacity 5600 mAh, last full capacity 5055 mAh = 90% Adapter 0: on-line Thermal 0: ok, 53.5 degrees C Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 99.0 degrees C Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 3 Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 3 Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 3 Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 3 Cooling 4: LCD 0 of 15 Cooling 5: LCD 0 of 15
So the adapter is On-line (even though it certainly disconnected), but the battery reports that it is discharging at a rate that is unavailable!
Any thoughts?
Check devices you have under /sys/class/power_supply; unplug your battery and looks at various values there, like bor@opensuse:~/src/grub> cat /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online 1 bor@opensuse:~/src/grub> cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status Full bor@opensuse:~/src/grub> cat /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online 0 bor@opensuse:~/src/grub> cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status Discharging bor@opensuse:~/src/grub> cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_now 3223000 bor@opensuse:~/src/grub> cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_now 3214000 bor@opensuse:~/src/grub> cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_now 3126000 Do they show something sensible? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
