Hi all,
Lenovo Y50
Ubuntu Mate 16.04
The battery monitor on the panel does not update. This applet identifies itself as Cinnamon power management applet
and it appears that Cinnamon 2.8 is installed. TBH I’m not even certain that I’m using Mate or Cinnamon or a mashup of both.
The battery monitor applet only updates when I connect or disconnect the battery charger making it pretty much useless. I keep a term open with
watch cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/capacity
running. There seems to be a bug report for this (or similar) at https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4176. It seems not to be fixed.
It would be nice to get this working.
Thanks!
