Description Johnny Proton 2004-12-12 11:59:49 EST

My Battery Monitor applet in my panel only seems to poll the battery
every 60 minutes or so, or whenever I plug in the power, or unplug the
power.

My system usually lasts about 2 hrs on battery power.  Here's an
example of what I see:

- When I unplug the system, it says 100%
- The next time it refreshes, it says about 77%
- The next time it refreshes, it says about 22%
- The next time it re...  No actually it just turns off.

I would like a preference in the battery monitor applet to let me
decide how often to poll the battery.  I would set mine at 5 or 10
minutes.  

In the meantime, is there a config file where I can set this manually?

You don't need a preference, it should update very regularily by
default. The fact that its not is just a bug.

What version of Fedora and gnome-applets is this?

Comment 2 Johnny Proton 2004-12-20 14:16:56 EST

Hi Mark,

Let me know if you need any more info?

- Fedora Core 3
- kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3
- gnome-applets-2.8.0-5

Running on HP Pavilion zd7000.  Is there a command line utility that I
can run to see the battery status?

Comment 3 Mark McLoughlin 2005-01-05 07:49:48 EST

Are the contents of /proc/acpi/battery/*/state updating regularily as
it discharges?

Comment 4 Mark McLoughlin 2005-01-05 07:51:49 EST

(bug #136948 may be the same problem)

Comment 5 Mark McLoughlin 2005-01-06 05:39:13 EST

Reporter in bug #136948 reports that the /proc state isn't updating
and also has a HP Pavilion zd7000.
