How come this will not work on my system:
${color red}$alignc Battery Information
${color lightgrey} Currently: $battery
${color lightgrey}$stippled_hr
I have tried a dozen scripts for battery status and nothing works. Does anyone have a sure fire way to get some status from my battery?
I am using a netbook, pretty standard stuff. I don't know why it won't work. I tried other commands and one returned "U" for unknown battery status and what not. How can I find out what is going on?
edit:
Battery: ${battery_percent BAT0}% ${alignr}${battery_bar 8,70 BAT0}
This displays 0% and an empty bar.
I went ahead into /proc/acpi/battery and found BAT1 and no BAT0, so I changed the script and I get a percent now...
This may be solved, but I am going to try the other functions to see if I can get the output I wanted in the first place.

"$battery" does not work because it assumes as default BAT0, which you don't have so it will have to be "$battery BAT1". See "man conky" for more info....
