My Battery meter has quit working… Earlier this afternoon I was sitting in my kitchen on my laptop and I was wondering why my screen didnt dim when I removed the power cord… I then hovered over the icon and it said I was still plugged in???
I have tried ctrl alt backspace and removing the icon and putting it back
As of yesterday 04/11 the icon was working perfectly and was alerting me of when the battery was low.
pc has only been turned on for 2 days. no standby no hibernate or anything… Just screen turned off and locks with whoever is on’s password
Ideas?
This pc is a sony vaio… came with windows 8 ( and didnt care for the new look ) … wiped all of their partitions off and Installed SUSE with UEFI still on…
Have you updated openSUSE since the first install? Have you restarted openSUSE since the problem first occurred? Is this a KDE or GNOME desktop and are you using 32 or a 64 bit install?
update: rebooted its working now… But I dont really want to have to reboot everytime I want to go on battery and go to another room or go somewhere… is there a fix to this?

maybe that one reboot fixed it…because maybe there was an
update that needed a reboot to fully implemented… (sometimes after
an update somethings don’t get changed until the next reboot…you
find out if any anything is running with old code [from memory] by
issuing
zypper ps
in a terminal…)
well, try pulling the cord and see if the system detects the loss of
AC power now…
