Re: pmu_battery in sid
Hi Risto,
in /var/log/syslog I see something similar as you, although I have the
battery status in the panel:
Jul 31 10:54:25 debian laptop-mode: WARNING: Battery does not report a
capacity. Minimum battery
Jul 31 10:54:25 debian laptop-mode: charge checking does not work without
a design capacity.
Jul 31 10:54:25 debian laptop-mode: WARNING: Battery does not report a
design capacity. Auto hibernation
Jul 31 10:54:25 debian laptop-mode: does not work without a design
capacity.
Jul 31 10:54:25 debian laptop-mode: Failed to determine battery charge.
Battery charge units are not in
Jul 31 10:54:25 debian laptop-mode: mWh, uWh, mAh or uAh.
