Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

it's a custom theme that i packaged with the program
if you look under /usr/share/batterymon/ you can see the themes
although with the new release that is coming out in asap i will include some info on the theme format so you can make custom themes.

i hope that helps

Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

I have this curious little problem that even though it displays my Batterystatus as Full, it's only 86% charged Oo
Is it a bug or have my battery detoriated?

Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

yes beacuse the current version uses full_power_design.

i will be relasing a new version shortly that should solve that problem. just need to find some time to do some finishing touches.

Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

Ok, I'm gonna wait for this, especially for that energy_full_design and ac adapter (without bat being connected) fix, then I'll try out.
Great work genisis300. Awesome is going to look awesome with your notifier.

Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

Sorry for that stupid question but how do I use this nice program?

I tried do start it after installing it from aur with batterymon as normal user but there's only this output:

[problemkenner@ma3schine]$ batterymon
One battery found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/batterymon", line 244, in <module>
    tempBATnumber = options.checkbatterys()  ## set default battery number
  File "/usr/bin/batterymon", line 217, in checkbatterys
    return str(test[0])
IndexError: list index out of range

And could batterymon be also started at startup?

I get exactly the same output, so if anyone could point us in the right direction???

Autostarting depends on your WM/DE. In openbox it is done by modifying ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh.

Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

Hey there smile Awesome work on the monitor ^_^

Seeing the default theme didn't fit into my current theme I just wrapped up something quick in gimp for everyone to use smile
I know it's rather "crappy" but it should work, (I guess)

It's a very simple white battery theme.

Anyway here's the download:
http://eax.dk/simple_white_by_eax.tar.bz2

Looks best on dark themes smile

Also: C&C is more than welcome smile

Updated again (again): Icons should be more pretty now, sorry if they suck I'm new at gimp tongue But I think I'm improving smile
One problem though, the icons seem to become more "blurry" when it has been running for some mins, any idea what would cause this?

Also: Here's the images of them(Sorry for the big pictures):

Battery when on "Low"

Full battery:

When charging:

Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

When I try to start batterymon from the commandline, I get the next output:

Can someone explain to me how to use this program????

Try running with "-i " and then the milisecons between each update smile

Otherwise take a look at:

batterymon --help

Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

Little bit strange indeed, that everyone in this thread is excited about the app. But nobody can inform us how to use it.:(:(

What does 'ls /sys/class/power_supply/ | grep BAT' give you?

Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

For me it outputs nothing. This directory contains only the files C239 and C23B. So obviously my battery isn't named BAT *. How do I have to change the script to get it work?

It depends on the contents of those folders. But you could try putting either of them 'batterymon -b <here>' and see if that's the way to go.

What's the output of 'find /sys -not -type f -name BAT*'?

Re: Batterymon -- a simple battery monitor ideal for openbox etc

In my /sys/class/power_supply there are two directories C1E8 and C1E9.

Structure of directory C1E8 is:

enne@persephone [/sys/class/power_supply/C1E8/]
>>> ls -a
.  ..  device  online  power  subsystem  type  uevent

structure of directory C1E9 is:

enne@persephone [/sys/class/power_supply/C1E9/]
>>> ls -a
.      charge_full         current_now   model_name  serial_number  technology  voltage_min_design
..     charge_full_design  device        power       status         type        voltage_now
alarm  charge_now          manufacturer  present     subsystem      uevent

batterymon -b C1E8 gives:

enne@persephone [~/]
>>> batterymon -b C1E8
One battery found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/batterymon", line 248, in <module>
    tempBATnumber = options.checkbatterys()
  File "/usr/bin/batterymon", line 217, in checkbatterys
    return str(test[0])
IndexError: list index out of range

batterymon -b C1E9 gives:

enne@persephone [~/]
>>> batterymon -b C1E9
One battery found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/batterymon", line 248, in <module>
    tempBATnumber = options.checkbatterys()
  File "/usr/bin/batterymon", line 217, in checkbatterys
    return str(test[0])
IndexError: list index out of range

In conky I have ${battery C1E9} which shows if the battery is on AC or charging/discharging with the percentage left. So I think C1E9 is my battery.
