GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 355515
power history does not work
Last modified: 2006-09-12 13:25:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: the power history graph constantly runs at 0W. The Laptop is an FSC Amilo M1437G. Since the Charge graph works correctly I suppose its only a drawing error, since the power consumption can be computed out of the battery drain. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
When the graph is zero, what does lshal | grep battery.charge_level.rate say?
0 (0x0)
Then your battery/bios/kernel is broken. Note, you only get rate when you are discharging and charging, rather than at a charged state. I'll close this as NOTGNOME (as g-p-m is using the correct information). You might want to email the HAL list so we could correct this using a quirk mode (where we calculate the rate rather than get it from the hardware) or try to find out why the kernel isn't getting rate information. Hope that helps.
