I’m using opensuse 11.2 x64 KDE 4.3.1 and my ups (CyberPower CP1500AVR) is not recognized by KDE Battery Widget. When i go to KDE Power Management (Personal Settings Configure Desktop) and choose Capabilities under “Number of Batteries” shows 1, so Power Management can see my battery (ups). When i go to /proc/acpi/ battery folder is missing, or if i type in terminal:
$ acpi -V
i get this:
No support for device type: battery
No support for device type: thermal
No support for device type: ac_adapter
after this command:
modprobe battery
battery folder appears in /proc/acpi and is empty.
With Ubuntu, Mint or openSuSe Gnome i do not have any problem with power management or battery (ups) recognition, however in openSuSE KDE this problem is present.
Does anybody knows how to fix this problem? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Today i decided to boot from openSuSE 11.2 x64 Gnome live CD and as i said, gnome power manager works perfectly, my CP1500AVR is recognized, all power schemes work beautifully (on AC, on battery, suspend on ram, etc.) It made me thinking that is KDE related bug or problem.
But when i type in gnome terminal:
acpi -V
i get this:
No support for device type: battery
No support for device type: thermal
No support for device type: ac_adapter
I do not know, kind of weird. The same thing happened in KDE. That is why i have decided to ask for help.
For a minute i thought that is kernel(acpi) problem, but then both openSuSE 11.2 KDE and openSuSE 11.2 Gnome report the same thing. So, i think that is KDE bug, but the bed thing is that i do know how to fix it. I need some hints from guys.
The last KDE openSuSE distro that was working fine with my ups was 10.3.
I have the same UPS and a very similar system overall, with the same motherboard and I only get this when I run acpi -v:
acpi 0.09

Do you have lm-sensors configured and enabled? These aren’t on by default. Perhaps try running sensors-detect (I just accepted the defaults) and /etc/init.d/lm_sensors start.
I found that manually loading the battery, and ac modules gets rid of those errors, but the thermal module isn’t getting rid of the third.
I don’t know if they’re really necessary. The pwrstat software provided by cyberpower has worked fine for me in the past (only 1 power outage was long enough to trigger a shutdown).
I’m running OS 11.2, KDE also and have the same problem with the Same model UPS. Here’s what I get when running “acpi -V”:
bruces@linux-xzny:~> acpi -V
No support for device type: battery
Thermal 1: ok, 29.0 degrees C
No support for device type: ac_adapter
My system is a dual core Pentium Acer desktop, so no ac adapter is no surprise. I’d like to find a solution to the UPS not being recognized also.
Here’s what happens with “lsusb”:

Haven’t tried the pwrstat software under 11.2 yet, however everything works under XP so I know the hardware is okay.

But this does not do any good, my ups i not recognized, no matter what i do.
