--- Comment #4 from Bob <bobfun...@gmail.com> --- I updated to the latest plasma release and can still trigger this battery applet bug after enough login/logout cycles. Here's the "About" copy paste, for the record: Operating System: Slackware Live 15.0 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.12 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz Memory: 7.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 520 Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: XPS 13 9350 The bug is the same: A random chance that upon login, the battery applet thinks there's no battery and only shows the icon and controls for screen brightness/keyboard brightness instead. The tooltip over the "battery applet" in this state reports "No Batteries Available". This would seem that batterymonitor thinks there's no batteries, even though UPower reports 'IsPresent' as true, along with solid-hardware5 reporting "Battery.present = true (bool)" when looking at the details of my battery. Somehow there is a very small chance the applet gets the wrong information at session startup and stays that way until plasmashell is restarted. Seems like a timing issue but I dont understand enough about how the applet gets its data to make a proper guess. If there's anything else I can supply please let me know. Everything seems to report a present and functional battery except the applet. Upower and soild reports arn't anything to look at because they report a present battery and charge status as normal. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
