Hi, thanks for the quick reply!

What exactly do you mean by "on battery"? When I am on AC, but the battery is plugged in, "acpi -b" prints Battery 0: Unknown, 98% After plugging AC off, it says Battery 0: Discharging, 98%, 02:12:32 r emaining And when there is no battery it's empty. As far as I can tell, it also does that when KDE displays the "no battery" icon, which is however hard to catch since it only lasts for a fraction of a second. However, you gave me the idea to look for a CLI for upower, and there actually is one. "upower --monitor" prints this when plugging in AC: [14:47:44.867] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/line_power_AC [14:47:45.203] device removed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:45.832] device added: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:45.832] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:46.137] device removed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:46.420] device added: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:46.425] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:46.547] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:47.082] device removed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:47.374] device added: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:47.378] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:47.548] device changed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:48.032] device removed: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [14:47:48.255] device added: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [...] So the problem is definitely within upower or even further down the stack, but not in KDE. I'll report a bug against upower. Kind regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
