Description Vivek Prakash 2010-06-27 20:50:33 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100527 SUSE/3.6.4-2.2 Firefox/3.6.4

On openSUSE 11.3 RC1, no battery is detected on my laptop (Asus U30J).  Adding a KDE4 battery widget to the desktop shows a "battery missing/ X" icon, which does not change if unplugged.  

Note that the Yast Auto-update applet warns about checking for updates if unplugged and running on battery power, so some part of the operating system is picking it up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install opensuse 11.3 RC1 or boot into KDE liveCD.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
No default battery widget in KDE panel, adding a widget shows no information.

Expected Results:  
A battery widget should appear by default on the panel, and if it isn't there, adding the widget manually should indicate battery charge status.
