Description of problem: On my MacBook Pro, the battery monitor applet displays total nonsense: the graphical view always shows a fully charged battery (full green bar); the tooltip shows negative time (at the moment "Battery 100% charged, -1:-37 until full"). It Used To Work(tm) in Fedora 11. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lxpanel-0.5.3-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up lxpanel to display its battery monitor 2. run it Actual results: Displayed result has no meaning. Expected results: Displayed result accurately shows battery load and charge/discharge time. Additional info: If it matters: gomes@m1597:~% cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charging present rate: 19380 mW remaining capacity: 34960 mWh present voltage: 12376 mV gomes@m1597:~% cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info present: yes design capacity: 56000 mWh last full capacity: 50090 mWh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 11100 mV design capacity warning: 250 mWh design capacity low: 100 mWh capacity granularity 1: 10 mWh capacity granularity 2: 10 mWh model number: ASMB012 serial number: battery type: LION012 OEM info: Sony012
Thanks for your report. The problem is not specific to a certain vendor or modell, but is caused by changes in the ACPI stack. The plugin uses /sys/class/power_supply/.. and the files there have been renamed. The problem I see is: If we change somthing there, I'm afraid this will break backwards compatibility with older kernels. I will need to investigate this with upstream, stay tuned.
Upstream is working on this now, I will have to look at the patches from https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3006059&group_id=180858&atid=894869

Hi, problem still seems to exist on F13 with lxpanel-0.5.5-3 Greets Marcus
Yes, the upstream bug is still open, so it cannot be fixed in Fedora.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still doesn't work in lxpanel 0.5.6. Raising version field to 14 to avoid the bug gets closed.

Seems to still be a problem in F15.
Sure, have a look at the upstream bug report, it is still open. All I can tell you at this point is to use batti instead.

Hi, lxpanel-0.5.8-1.fc16.x86_64 always says battery is 100% charged even though battery is not 100% charged. However, remaining time looks correct. lxpanel-0.5.6-2.fc15.x86_64(using fedora 16) worked fine for me. I tested webattery command and it showed battery status correctly.

This has to do with the kernel rather than lxpanel. 0.5.8 will work with older kernels just like 0.5.6. I'm going to push another update for lxpanel later.
