How to get the correct battery status?
Every time I restart me computer I have to go into system settings to turn the brightness on my screen back up to full and the computer thinks there's no battery - there definitely is! Apart from that I've had no performance issues, it's just dang annoying and I don't understand it, because it was working fine last night, the indicator-battery was displaying correctly, but when I turned on my computer this morning (like nine hours later), it was broken.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks!
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0
or/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1
spit out? In terminal run:cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0
orcat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1
Mine is practically dead but still seen by the system although the applet sometimes doesn't, which mean the applet has a bug. – Nov 22 '11 at 16:11
