Package: upower Version: 0.99.4-4+b1 Severity: normal upower is only checking for power state changes every two minutes on my Apple Macbook Pro 5,1.
I suspect that upower is supposed to be getting some kind of dynamic notification over dbus or something, but apparently it's not. upower documentation is terrible. -->upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 native-path: BAT0 vendor: ANKER model: ASMB013 power supply: yes updated: Tue 20 Jun 2017 11:02:09 PM PDT (58 seconds ago) has history: yes has statistics: yes battery present: yes rechargeable: yes state: charging warning-level: none energy: 14.8392 Wh energy-empty: 0 Wh energy-full: 50.4036 Wh energy-full-design: 49.68 Wh energy-rate: 10.8864 W voltage: 11.931 V time to full: 3.3 hours percentage: 30% temperature: 37.2 degrees C capacity: 100% technology: lithium-ion icon-name: 'battery-good-charging-symbolic' History (charge): 1498024929 30.000 charging History (rate): 1498024929 10.886 charging Here is me pulling the magsafe connector and then almost immediately plugging it back in: -->while true ; do acpi -V ; echo -- ; sleep 1 ; done Battery 0: Charging, 30%, 03:40:51 until charged Battery 0: design capacity 4600 mAh, last full capacity 4667 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: off-line Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 1: BAT0 no state information available Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 -- Battery 0: Charging, 30%, 16:21:06 until charged Battery 0: design capacity 4600 mAh, last full capacity 4667 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: off-line Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 1: BAT0 no state information available Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 -- Battery 0: Discharging, 30%, 00:37:23 remaining Battery 0: design capacity 4600 mAh, last full capacity 4667 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: off-line Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 1: BAT0 no state information available Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 -- Battery 0: Discharging, 30%, 00:39:10 remaining Battery 0: design capacity 4600 mAh, last full capacity 4667 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: off-line Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 1: BAT0 no state information available Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 -- Battery 0: Discharging, 30%, 01:05:37 remaining Battery 0: design capacity 4600 mAh, last full capacity 4667 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: on-line Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 1: BAT0 no state information available Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 -- Battery 0: Full, 30% Battery 0: design capacity 4600 mAh, last full capacity 4667 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: on-line Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 1: BAT0 no state information available Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 -- Battery 0: Charging, 30%, 01:32:18 until charged Battery 0: design capacity 4600 mAh, last full capacity 4667 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: on-line Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 1: BAT0 no state information available Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 -- Battery 0: Charging, 30%, 01:36:34 until charged Battery 0: design capacity 4600 mAh, last full capacity 4667 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: on-line Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 1: BAT0 no state information available Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 -- Battery 0: Charging, 30%, 01:50:37 until charged Battery 0: design capacity 4600 mAh, last full capacity 4667 mAh = 100% Adapter 0: on-line Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 1: BAT0 no state information available Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 -- -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages upower depends on: ii dbus 1.10.18-1 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libgudev-1.0-0 230-3 ii libimobiledevice6 1.2.0+dfsg-3.1 ii libplist3 1.12+git+1+e37ca00-0.3 ii libupower-glib3 0.99.4-4+b1 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.21-1 ii udev 232-25 Versions of packages upower recommends: ii policykit-1 0.105-18 upower suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
