SUMMARY Plasmashell returns invalid AC-chord connection status: even when the AC chord is unplugged, plasmashell considers it connected, which causes problematic side-effects like preventing the laptop to suspend when the lid is closed (considering it's still on AC). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. AC-chord connected: indication of battery charging > acpi Battery 0: Charging, 77%, 00:17:52 until charged 2. AC-chord disconnected: indication of "plugged but still discharging" > acpi Battery 0: Discharging, 77%, discharging at zero rate - will never fully discharge. OBSERVED RESULT above EXPECTED RESULT AC to show disconnected when effectively so SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.8.11-200.fc32.x86_64 (Fedora) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.90 (but similar issues on 5.18.5) KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION feel free to ask :)
the "will never fully discharge" indication by acpi is a bit bugous, though, but after some seconds it normalizes: > acpi Battery 0: Discharging, 99%, 04:01:22 remaining but even in this case, plasma is still reporting that the battery is plugged in.
I have the same issue on my ThinkPad X1 Yoga. Unfortunately it is an upstream upower bug that we can't feasibly work around: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/-/issues/126
Hi Nate, thanks for bringing that up :)
