After a recent update ~10-15 days ago my system doesn’t have battery information anymore.
The icon in plasma is constantly the one for no battery, red frame and charging symbol.
The actual physical charging still works fine as can be seen with Ubuntu on another partition.

upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_qcom_battmgr_bat

I use:

  • Thinkpad X13s with aarch64 Snapdragon 8cx gen 3 CPU
  • Tumbleweed
  • Kernel: 6.19.3
  • Plasma: 6.6

It could be that it started with kernel 6.19, not 100% sure, though.

Any ideas?
Or what can I do to analyse this further ?

Not seeing that here on a Thinkpad P16s. What you don’t mention is whether this is Wayland or X11

It’s Wayland. But considering the result from upower, I don’t think it’s GUI related.

I have the exact same issue on my X13s, just installed OpenSUSE and followed the instructions to install and activate pd-mapper, no change.

upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_qcom_battmgr_bat

Yields identical results
