KDE power manager - no remaining time

Hi,

I've got a problem, I'd like to see remaining time on battery in KDE power manager or any different manager, I don't care .

All I see now is this.

Thanks for your help.

I have this problem too. I think it is upstream bug. For temporary "workaround" you can just write acpi in terminal.

I think it is upstream bug.

Kde developers do not consider this a bug. There has been a long discussion which started in 2009 (http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-de … 05693.html) about the remaining time feature in the battery applet, where they decided to not show it and only allow the user who really want the feature to activate it editing the relevant config file.

Re: KDE power manager - no remaining time

you can replace battery monitor with this: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/En … ent=153981

but you should know:

1. it might not work at all with your HW
2. it doesn't work reliably as your HW is not equiped with crystal ball (this is the reason why this feature was droped from official battery plasmoid)
