Package: xfce4-power-manager Versions: 1.4.1-1 and 1.4.4-4 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Attempted to use the package on a General Dynamics / Itronics GD8200 notebook with an original OEM battery installed. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I tried resizing fonts, changing theme, and internet searches for solutions. * What was the outcome of this action? The interface cannot be resized to fit on-screen, the screen having a resolution set at 1024x768. I located an archived Debian bug #763713 which I believe to be related, the report also contains a proposed patch, which would fix the issue if the code is still applicable after the changes made upstream to half fix this. However, upstream adopted a different approach which only deals with the case where the battery is not recognised creating a long string of characters to be rendered on the devices tab, not where the manufacturer's name or model details result in a long string, which is the case for GD/Itronix notebook batteries. * Additional information In the original bug report at: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763713 Message #42 links to additional information requested by upstream at the time: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11217#c1 As it is relevant to reproducing the issue, I provide it below: ***** Begin paste from terminal ***** beardy@GD8200-DB-BL:~$ upower --enumerate /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/line_power_AC0 /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT1 /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/DisplayDevice beardy@GD8200-DB-BL:~$ upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT1 native-path: BAT1 vendor: SMP model: GD8200 Primary Battery 018762 LiIon SMP serial: 018762 LiIon SMP power supply: yes updated: Thu 20 Oct 2016 11:31:54 BST (56 seconds ago) has history: yes has statistics: yes battery present: yes rechargeable: yes state: fully-charged warning-level: none energy: 58.7088 Wh energy-empty: 0 Wh energy-full: 58.7088 Wh energy-full-design: 56.4516 Wh energy-rate: 0.0108 W voltage: 4.967 V percentage: 100% capacity: 100% icon-name: 'battery-full-charged-symbolic' History (rate): 1476959514 0.011 fully-charged ***** End paste ***** In this case the culprit is the long line provided as model, rather than 64 characters generated by an unrecognised battery, however, the basic issue is identical. The interface either needs to accommodate or truncate the information rather than increasing the window dimensions beyond what fits on a reasonable screen. Upstream believe the issue to be fixed in this version. However, the basic issue that the interface can't accommodate long strings without extending off screen is still present the versions cited at the beginning of this report. -- System Information: Distributor ID: BunsenLabs Description: BunsenLabs GNU/Linux 8.5 (Hydrogen) Release: 8.5 Codename: bunsen-hydrogen Architecture: x86_64 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xfce4-power-manager depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u6 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1+deb8u1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.20-0+deb8u1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.102-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+deb8u5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1+b1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.25-3+deb8u1 ii libnotify4 0.7.6-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libupower-glib3 0.99.1-3.2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.10.0-6 ii libxfce4util6 4.10.1-2 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.10.0-3 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1+b1 ii upower 0.99.1-3.2 ii xfce4-power-manager-data 1.4.4-4~bpo8+1 Versions of packages xfce4-power-manager recommends: ii libpam-systemd 215-17+deb8u5 pn xfce4-power-manager-plugins <none> xfce4-power-manager suggests no packages. -- no debconf information --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
