Description hrvooje 2016-10-16 17:32:28 UTC
I am using laptop. In system tray widget, battery and brightness says that my battery is not present. I can't see how much energy is left.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open system tray 'battery and brightness'
2. There is no 'battery' status bar
3. Red x sign on a battery icon, although battery is present

Actual Results:  
1. Open system tray 'battery and brightness'
2. There is no 'battery' status bar
3. Red x sign on a battery icon, although battery is present

Expected Results:  
1. Open system tray 'battery and brightness'
2. Look and read battery status bar

In Mint 18 KDE 5.6.5 everything is ok.

Can you attach the output of upower -d so we can see whether it's a driver / k problem or a bug in PowerDevil

'Unfortunatelly' after restart the battery is showing. If it happens again I will run upower -d. Here it is for now:
