Bug ID: 360800
Summary: Battery applet wrong status reporting with Lenovo
thresholds
Product: plasma4
Version: unspecified
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: widget-battery
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: g11072...@trbvm.com
I've noticed that when the AC power is plugged in, the battery applet in the
system tray always reports "charging", even when the battery charge reaches the
set threshold and the battery actually stops charging. The notebook is a Lenovo
E520, and I set the battery charge threshold with tpacpi (or Lenovo Power
Manager in Windows).
While the applet incorrectly shows "charging", the command line reports the
correct situation:
user@PC:~ > cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charged
present rate: 0 mW
remaining capacity: 17270 mWh
present voltage: 10860 mV
Everything else works correctly. It reports "discharging" when the AC power is
unplugged, and so on.
I've tried to charge the battery up to 100% and the applet correctly reports
"not charging". The same happens if I set a very high thresolds (like 99 or
98).
So the problem only shows when I set a relatively low charge threshold (like
90%): the bios stops charging the battery at the set charge threshold, but the
applet still says "charging".
This is on KDE 4.14.2.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug the AC cord.
2. Let the battery charge up to set threshold.
3. The battery stops charging at the set threshold.
Actual Results:
The battery widget still says "charging" (even after reboot).
Expected Results:
The battery widget should say "not charging".
