It seems that after a reboot the first reading of battery remaining time is displayed and never updated. What about `upower -D`? Regardless, a lot has changed here recently so I strongly suspect that it it's fixed in Plasma 6. I can't reproduce the issue myself on Plasma 6. Result of upower -d:

I also have an update to my observations. The battery remaining time is behaving unpredictably. Sometimes it seems to be updating correctly after system startup and updating estimated time regularly. On other occasion when I start the system it is frozen at the first estimation and never updating. I could not figure out yet if this is correlated with anything else. I should have been more specific, sorry: are the times shown in `upower -d` wrong in either the exact same way, or at least a similar way? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > I should have been more specific, sorry: are the times shown in `upower -d` > wrong in either the exact same way, or at least a similar way? Times shown in "upower -d" seem perfectly fine and never frozen. During my last check the KDE widget was frozen displaying: "Estimating..." while upower -d was displaying estimated time correctly and updating it every 30 seconds. Ok, thanks. This has gotten an overhaul in Plasma 6 so it would be good to check to see if the same thing is still happening there. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #7) > Ok, thanks.

I assume this was after an update (although I am still on 5.27.10) because I noticed several updates of KDE related packages. Unfortunately I do not know which one exactly. All right, great! Let's call it fixed. Probably by a kernel or upower change. |
SUMMARY Battery and brightness applet does not update the battery remaining time but does update battery state (charging/discharging) and percentage. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Just hover the mouse over the Battery and Brightness applet. OBSERVED RESULT I am using Kubuntu 23.10 with backports. Fresh install. The applet was not working in default plasma version and is not working with 5.27.10 as well. Strangely enough it was working for several minutes after the update to plasma 5.27.10 and after a while stopped updating. The command: upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 is showing and updating remaining time on battery correctly. The output of command: upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 is: native-path: BAT0 vendor: SMP model: 02DL028 serial: 975 power supply: yes updated: pon, 5 lut 2024, 08:32:25 (28 seconds ago) has history: yes has statistics: yes battery present: yes rechargeable: yes state: discharging warning-level: none energy: 76,66 Wh energy-empty: 0 Wh energy-full: 85,27 Wh energy-full-design: 90 Wh energy-rate: 6,402 W voltage: 12,337 V charge-cycles: 34 time to empty: 12,0 hours percentage: 89% capacity: 94,7444% technology: lithium-polymer icon-name: 'battery-full-symbolic' History (charge): 1707118315 89,000 discharging History (rate): 1707118345 6,402 discharging 1707118315 7,165 discharging 1707118285 6,567 discharging The output of command: acpi -lb is: Battery 0: Discharging, 86%, 10:29:47 remaining Battery 0: design capacity 7348 mAh, last full capacity 6962 mAh = 94% The output of command: dbus-monitor --system interface=org.freedesktop.UPower interface=org.freedesktop.UPower.Device is: dbus-monitor: unable to enable new-style monitoring: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: "Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.219" (uid=1000 pid=7475 comm="dbus-monitor --system interface=org.freedesktop.UP" label="unconfined") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Monitoring" member="BecomeMonitor" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.DBus" (bus)".
