General system Bug reports

Hi. I’m in live-USB environment of cassini. I have DELL XPS 15 95 20.

My laptop is charging, when I hover on the battery indicator in bottom right of the screen I see “Computed - Fully charged - 6694 hours remaining”

This is output of my inxi -F:

I was not sure if it is related to Xfce or Endeavour, so I posted it here

it is simple the best battery in the world do not touch it and enjoy :wink:

Battery:
  ID-1: BAT0 charge: 76.3 Wh (100.0%) condition: 76.3/84.3 Wh (90.5%)

inxi shows correct data so it seems to be related to the power plugin on xfce4.
As far as I know it should calculate capacities using the sam data… Wh / % charged and original capacity…

something like:
journal -b -p err could show if there is any error in the journal about anything related… like acpi p.e.

cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_full{,_design} shows info system has about battery…
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 also has the schedulers to show current states…

ls /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0

and power manager should show your battery as a device too… you do check this already?

just see this… live session so could be related to this but https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/51wr31/dell_xps15_9550_bios_1214_fixes_battery_at_60/
could be Bios Version also?

Thanks for your reply.

OK I just booted the live-USB again, but my laptop is not plugged in and battery is at 60% and all data is being showed correctly: 1 hour and 40 minutes remaining.

If I got to reproduce the problem I’ll share the output of those commands here.

Thanks

i saw this from time too on my thinkpad… but when I remove power cord and plug back it is gone… not only on xfce4 also on i3 setup…
