UPower dump

SUMMARY
The battery applet sometimes does not work on a device that does not support setting charge threshold.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Not sure. Upgraded Plasma to 5.19.90 and logged out, then logged back in.

OBSERVED RESULT
The "Battery and brightness" applet no longer correctly shows battery level any more. It shows an empty battery icon with a [x], and says "Your battery is configured to only charge up to 0%". The applet also does not have a progress bar showing battery level any more.

EXPECTED RESULT
The configured charge limit should not be shown on devices that do not support such a feature, and battery level should probably always be shown if there is a battery.

(If anyone else can confirm this, it's gonna get bumped to VHI)
Comment 4 hexchain 2020-09-19 11:29:12 UTC 
Okay, I tried to log out and log in and the battery charge threshold is back to 100% again. I created a new user but was also unable to reproduce this issue.

Feel free to close it.

Ok, thanks. :)
