Description Tob Sch 2007-12-10 07:48:09 UTC

i,

I'm running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 with the newest patches on a HP Compaq nx6125.


Altough the (second) travel battery is empty, the "KPowersave Informations Dialog" shows it's 100% full.

Please provide these information if this happen:
- lshal output
- grep . /proc/acpi/battery/*/*

Comment 6 Danny Al-Gaaf 2007-12-14 11:59:20 UTC

Okay, it's not a KPowersave, but a HAL problem. HAL reports for the empty battery:

   battery.charge_level.percentage = 100  (0x64)  (int)

Please try the HAL package from here (and check if this helps):

Comment 7 Tob Sch 2007-12-16 11:25:37 UTC

Thanks! That version fixed the bug :-)

When will this rpm-package be released as an official openSUSE 10.3 update package?

Comment 8 Danny Al-Gaaf 2007-12-16 13:51:40 UTC

You can use the HAL from my repo for now, this version should include everything, that go into the next online update next year.

Comment 9 Danny Al-Gaaf 2008-01-30 17:12:23 UTC

submitted package for YOU update for opensuse 10.3

Comment 10 Anja Stock 2008-02-05 14:45:18 UTC

released

Comment 11 Tob Sch 2008-02-08 20:55:44 UTC

I discovered another flaw: when the Primary battery is full and the Travel battery is discharging, the remaining battery time of both batteries (Travel + Primary) is always as big as the remaining battery time of the discharging Travel battery. With former versions of OpenSUSE, this worked, I remember.

Comment 15 Danny Al-Gaaf 2008-02-09 13:19:34 UTC

That's o bug, there is no way to calculate the time correctly for both batteries atm.

Comment 16 Danny Al-Gaaf 2008-02-09 13:20:40 UTC

set back to old state.

Btw. if you have a new bug, open a new bugreport and don't reopen existing bugs!!!
