Hi, I run Arch Linux 5.5.13 on my laptop. A year ago, I changed the original battery for a new one (maybe not the official one).
It has been some time that I have the same problem. Charging the battery requires I either a) turn off my laptop, or b) close the lid.

Note that when it is still not recognized when xfce4 is not lauched.
Everything looks fine but this adpater that is still off-line when plugged.
I was not able to see where the problem is coming from. Any suggestion for further investigation ?

So your laptop doesn't charge at all?
Maybe try if it works when you log just into terminal, but don't start Xorg or your DE. It looks a bit weird that it works when you have your lid closed, almost as if your DE was somehow messing with it? No idea, I've never seen this before.

It charges when off or when the lid is close.
I do not launch any DE after boot and log, I have the same behavior as far as acpi -V can tell.
Sometime when I turn it on when fully charged, it keeps the charging On-line until I disconnect it and plug it back.

You haven't specified the make and model of the laptop.
Maybe there are inbuilt diagnostics in the laptop bios you can run to test the hardware (there are on some HP laptops)?
Offline
Yeah, the diagnostics is a good idea. It looks like a hw issue to me.
Out of curiosity, did you try other operating system? And does it charge if you run the code below and close laptop lid afterwards?
systemd-inhibit --what=handle-lid-switch sleep 6hThis doesn't allow the system to go to sleep because of the lid closing, I use it when I connect external monitor and close laptop lid and I don't want it to go to sleep. This is blocking call, and you can cancel it afterwards with <Ctrl+C> as usual.
These things above that I've just written are probably pointless, I think @paulkerry is probably right, this looks like a hw issue. But I'm curious what could cause this.
Did you notice if the laptop discharges slower if you have the adapter plugged in, even when it says it's not charging?
