Description Joachim Breitner 2010-12-09 00:34:43 UTC

Hi,

in the Debian bug report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=601587, it was reported that a /sys filename has changed in Linux 2.6.36, per commit b137b9942a07843c64a934cfdb7d43155e507e13. This renders the remaining-time-to-depletion information defunct.

Greetings,
Joachim

commit 2af7a6e091bb62faff9cdda5bb7e3fb5dcc8d15a
Author: Richard Hughes <richard@hughsie.com>

    Support the power_now sysfs attribute to get time remaining on new kernels
    
    The kernel has removed the insanity of providing current_now in either
    (and unspecified) units of uVh or uWh and instead provides power_now
    for the power rate value.
