Description Anders Kaseorg 2006-02-12 07:07:54 UTC

I'm using HAL 0.5.6-1ubuntu3 (on Ubuntu Dapper), and I have a Logitech MX-1000
cordless mouse that reports battery information. When I first plug it in, I see
this in hal-device-manager:

battery.charge_level.design: 7
battery.charge_level.last_full: 7
battery.command_interface: csr
battery.csr.has_res: false
battery.csr.has_sms: false
battery.csr.is_dual: false
battery.is_rechargeable: true
battery.present: true
battery.type: mouse

However, only 30 seconds later do I actually get the current level:

battery.charge_level.current: 5
battery.charge_level.percentage: 71

This is confusing gnome-power-manager into thinking that its level is always 0%
unless I start g-p-m at least 30 seconds after plugging in the mouse. (Before
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330156> was fixed, this made g-p-m
shut down my computer because of the "critical" battery level!)

Comment 1 Anders Kaseorg 2006-02-12 07:18:40 UTC

I also filed a bug for g-p-m <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330822>,
but I don't see why HAL can't begin reporting the battery level immediately.

Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2006-02-12 07:34:08 UTC

Can you attach the output of:

killall hald
/usr/sbin/hald --retain-privileges --verbose=yes --daemon=no

Many thanks, Richard.

/usr/sbin/hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no

I've attached the output of /usr/sbin/hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no. (It
doesn't recognize --retain-privileges or any similar option.) Here are the
parts that look relevant:

I think that the battery level reporting is broken on the HAL side. In lmctl:
                printf ("\tBattery status: %d ", P5 & 0x07);
                switch (P5 & 0x07) {
                case 0: printf ("(unavailable)\n"); break;
                case 1:
                case 2: printf ("(critical)\n"); break;
                case 3:
                case 4: printf ("(low)\n"); break;
                case 5:
                case 6: printf ("(good)\n"); break;
                case 7: printf ("(full)\n"); break;
in the csr addon:
                                if (current_charge != 0)
                                        percentage = (100.0 / 7.0) * current_charge;

0 means unavailable, not empty (well, it might be unavailable because it's
empty, but that would only be useful if the previous level was non-zero). Makes
sense Richard?
