E17 battery module problem?

bgc1954 · 2008-03-05 16:49:22

I'm just wondering if anyone else has a problem with the battery module in e17 (e-cvs). It used to work correctly before the upgrade but I just noticed that it now shows 100% on the battery all the time. My conky app still shows the proper battery level (ie. discharging 35%) so I'm assuming it has something to do with the e17 battery module. I'm running E17 on a T21 IBM Thinkpad by the way.
Edit: It's definitely the e-cvs upgrade that's the culprit. I went back to e-cvs-2008220-1.pkg.tar.gz and now the battery level is correct again.

Are you using i686 or x86_64?

My laptop uses i686. I wouldn't have noticed it on my 64 bit machine as it is a desktop and I don't use the battery module so I don't know if that is effected as well.

I think the battery module is broken atm. Last 10 days or so there have been some contributions to the battery module in e-cvs. I haven't found any time yet to check that code though.

Thanks for noticing pressh! As long as I don't clear my pacman cache it won't be a problem in the future either.

battery module still broken, even after upgrade to the new packages (20080317)!

The battery time remaining does not work indeed, though the battery percentage remaining does work on my end (which was also broken before for me). Can you confirm that or does it not work at all for you ?

I just noticed you asked iggy but I'll confirm for you that the percentage works but the time remaining doesn't. Also I posted back in my E17 menu font post and there is another quirk in the battery module...back to 20080220 for now.
