Battery Icon Issues

Desktop Environments Plasma
1

I have been looking for my problem and it seems to be common among people who use kde, the battery icon shows that it is charging even if it is not connected.

I have used the upower command for more information on this in case it helps to solve the problem:

I can’t think of what to do from here, any help will be appreciated! :smile:

PS: I have tried installing upower-git from the AUR but nothing changed after reboot.

My Kde doesn’t even show the battery icon? :thinking: I don’t pay much attention until now.

It’s probably hidden in the icon box.

Yes i see here where it is on my desktop so I’ll check later on the laptop.

No issue here, how is yours set up to display it, mine is set to display when relevant

As a side note I did have some weird issues due to settings in my bios a while ago

I’m on a desktop and haven’t checked my laptop yet.

Edit: On the laptop

I’ve tried “when relevant” and “always” but same result, from what I have read it may be a problem due to the fact that my computer also supports usb-c charging but I am not sure if it is the problem completely, I will try to fully discharge the battery in case it is a battery info error.

Have you checked youre bios/uefi settings also as I have also mentioned? Otherwise I have no idea what else to suggest. But it may help others to help troubleshoot this issue.
