Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux The battery widget information (e.g., percentage, charge state, etc.) does not get updated. Note: UPower appears to be working, as qdbusviewer shows the correct information. It seems plasma is the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unplug the power adapter and let the battery run down to some point. 2. Plug in the power adapter and allow the laptop to charge. Actual Results: The battery widget information does not get updated (e.g., percentage does not increase, charge state remains constant, etc.). Expected Results: The battery widget information should reflect UPower information (e.g., correct percentage, correct charge state information, etc.).
Hi. I have the same issue. Both in 4.6 and after updating to 4.7. I've also checked that the /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0/Changed signal is send and the /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0/Percentage value is correct. I'm running archlinux, hal is not installed, upowerd installed and running.
Does the powermanagement itself works for you? Ie. does the screen goes dark after a while or the system goes to sleep when your battery is critical?
there is another issue open on powermanagement that has to do with upower not reporting properly anymore after a sleep or hibernate cycle. otherwise, this does seem to work accurately, so closing this report.
