Description Shiv Manas 2010-07-27 07:16:51 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When I unplug my AC Adapter, it doesn't change to battery, instead, says it's
still charging. It doesn't change power states because of this and I don't get
a notification when my battery runs out. I ran 'acpi' and reports back properly
when the AC Adapter is online or offline.



"acpi -V" reports:

When plugged in:

Battery 1: charged, 50%
Thermal 1: ok, 49.0 degrees C
AC Adapter 1: on-line

When unplugged:

Battery 1: discharging, 50%, 01:06:04 remaining
Thermal 1: ok, 48.0 degrees C
AC Adapter 1: off-line

However, PowerDevil doesn't reflect this. It *does* detect this however when the system is booting up, but once the system is running, it doesn't work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Unplug or plug in AC Adapter


Actual Results:  
"AC Adapter" status doesn't change, but battery charging or discharging status changes accordingly.

"AC Adapter" status should change accordingly

Computer Specs:

This is really like my problem on a sony vaio vpcs11e7e:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233854

the difference is that here the battery state changes correctly when plugging/unplugging the charger and the percentage of the charge is showed correctly. But the state of the adapter does not changes.

Actually, that's exactly my problem as well. PowerDevil is able to detect 
 - Whether the battery is charging or discharging
 - The amount of charge remaining

but it's not able to detect the state of the adapter.

So this bug should be closed as a duplicated of bug 233854
