[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2018-02-18 Thread Doug Parker
I have it on 16.04 LTS running on a Fujitsu LifeBook T4215. There is an
"estimating" message, and the percentage rises from 50% to 100%, then
cycles in the same range.

The laptop is a dual boot with Windows 10, and Windows is also showing
the same, "estimating and cycling" behavior. I've read in other threads
that it is a potential BIOS update issue. IJS.

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2011-11-11 Thread Benchrest
I don't understand all the null updates.  My laptop HP DV6646US worked
perfectly on the previous 2 releases of Ubuntu.  It worked correctly on
Natty initially using the classic desktop.  But after about a month it
stopped working and only shows estimating.   I am convinced something
changed shortly after Natty was released.  Anyhow I think my computer
battery must pass the correct information or it would not have worked on
the previous releases. And it appears hundred of other users must agree
with me.

 IMHO the bug needs a new title and some more activity.  I noted the  
 last
 dev comment was to look at turning on the time estimation code in
 October 2009 .. I'm guessing that presented a challenge.

 Bug is still alive and kicking. My HP g60 125nr does this and it  
 drives
 me nuts. If we can get a discharge rate (Wh/time) isn't it just simple
 arithmetic to get at least a half-decent fallback routine should the
 current implementation fail/time out? I've had the stock battery
 replaced via BestBuy, and unsurprisingly it's a cheap Taiwanese knock-
 off. I can check if the stock battery (as in genuine HP) can give an
 estimate of remaining charge (it could be HP's hardware level vendor
 locking, similar to ink cartridges), but I still see no reason for not
 having a history based estimation as a failsafe.

 it's
 just the panel monitor that doesn't display a time. I installed batmon

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2011-06-26 Thread Andy Eyre
Hi Mohegan.

I too saw the double reporting of battery status, when I first installed
11.04. However, I saw it *before* I'd installed the patched upower, so I
don't think it's related to that (unless you tell me that you only had
one line *until* you installed the patch).

The thing is, the patch affects upower and the data that it reports --
but the icon belongs to gnome-power-manager, which reads the upower data
and draws the graphs and things -- and is nothing to do with upower per
se. Unless you can definitely identify the behaviour as coming from the
patched upower, I'd be tempted to file a new bug under gnome-power-
manager.

If it's any help, the double reporting seemed to go away for me as soon
as I installed all the latest package updates, though as I said, that
was before I'd installed the upower patch.

I confirm this behavior. Seems that it has nothing to do with proposed

A VERY GOOD alternative for now, for me that is, is to use the
battery-status applet as indicator to get a proper read on what's going on
with my battery and on my cpu governor status...

maybe we could just merge that as a replacement?

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2011-06-25 Thread Andy Eyre
This bug is still present in Natty. Sorry, I can't get LauchPad to add
natty/upower as a new target for this bug - maybe somebody more au fait
with launchpad can do that.

I have, however, examined  tested my earlier patch (for upower on
10.10) against upower-0.9.9 that ships with Natty, and it checks out and
works fine.

Hence, I attach a .deb with the i386 binary of my patched upower, plus
the source.

If somebody wants to also compile for amd64 architecture and add to
their PPA (like they did with the earlier patch) to aid distribution,
then I'd be thankful - I don't have time for this.

I also see a lot of comments about upstream patches and the need to re-
enable the disabled code - this patch does exactly that - fixes the
broken estimation code and re-enables it. I don't have time to do it
myself, but if somebody wants to commit my patch back up to the ubuntu
upower project, then this bug would be fixed for everybody.

the battery-status applet emulates the indicator status.. it isn't one...
try using expo trough unity and look at the tray area with and without
indicators.. you'll see what I mean. It's layered in .. not actually
integrated into the bar.

I think what Milan is saying, is the proper way to say me too is to
select Affects Me at the top of the bug, which will help to give
developers an accurate scope of impact _ though this one is pretty high
already.   I posted upstream (freedesktop-bugs link at the top) where
IMHO the bug needs a new title and some more activity.  I noted the last
dev comment was to look at turning on the time estimation code in
October 2009 .. I'm guessing that presented a challenge.

2011-05-01 Thread Andy Cooling
This seems a little crazy, my Tosh NB200 battery estimation worked fine
until an upgrade, can't remember now if it was 9.10 to 10.04 or 10.04 to
10.10. Anyway, the on screen pop-ups with the % remaining are fine, it's
just the panel monitor that doesn't display a time. I installed batmon
today as a test, it's graphically very poor, but at least it reports a
percentage, it too cannot report an estimated time. Can an option for
percentage or time be added to the indicator applet until this is
resolved?

Bug is still alive and kicking. My HP g60 125nr does this and it drives
me nuts. If we can get a discharge rate (Wh/time) isn't it just simple
arithmetic to get at least a half-decent fallback routine should the
current implementation fail/time out? I've had the stock battery
replaced via BestBuy, and unsurprisingly it's a cheap Taiwanese knock-
off. I can check if the stock battery (as in genuine HP) can give an
estimate of remaining charge (it could be HP's hardware level vendor
locking, similar to ink cartridges), but I still see no reason for not
having a history based estimation as a failsafe.

this seemed to have broke during the transition from devicekit-power to
upower; and looking in gnome-power-statistics confirms that it's not
collecting samples for the data it uses to generate the estimate; as
upower doesn't provide it for my battery (i don't know for sure if it
offers it at all on other batteries, though) where devicekit-power
provided _something_

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2011-03-18 Thread David Ayers
Hello Amr,

How is the patch coming along?  Have you cleaned it up and posted it
upstream?  Is there a corresponding upstream bug report other than the
Device-Power? ... which seems to be inactive currently.  I'd be great to
get a definitive fix upstream so that the released packages can start
being patched.

Thanks for your work!

 Amr's fix from the PPA does not work for me.  Battery indicator still
 always says estimating... when on battery power.

Yes, Amr appears to be suggesting a workaround; to install a different piece
of software (battery-status) and use that.

Please try to limit this discussion to the issue at hand, which is strictly
upower and the stock power indicator (gnome-power-manager) failing to
provide an estimate.

I'm curious that upower has been marked fix released :)
Is that accurate? The reason I'm confused is the upstream bug report
(Launchpad still calls upstream devicekit-power) appears to be open with
little activity. Was battery-status getting the missing information from
upower on one of the offending batteries?

2011-02-12 Thread Pilot_51
I have this problem on my HP Pavilion DV9812NR running 10.10 with all
updates.

Percentage shows up in power statistics, but the power indicator context
menu always says estimating. I never had an estimated time since I got
this laptop over a year ago (Time to full/empty is always 0 seconds). If
I remember correctly I did have a percentage in the context menu in
Lucid and definitely in Karmic.

I tried Brian's fix and after rebooting the context menu is showing
percentage again. An estimated time would be a nice bonus, but as far as
I'm concerned percentage is all I need to know.

2011-02-09 Thread Eric Swanson
This affects me too, on an HP HDX16t laptop.

I tried the PPA version of upower given above with no result. Strangely,
looking at upower's dbus interface in d-feet shows that it knows my
energy_rate (discharge rate) and the amount of energy in my battery, but
doesn't calculate time_until_full or time_until_empty.

It reads these from charge_now, not current_now. My current_now is
-1000, but I don't see how that could be causing the bug.

I'll fire up gdb and have a look at upower if I can. I've never debugged
anything but C# and Python before, so it will be interesting...

2011-01-11 Thread Isantop
Testing with this, I have some results to report:

On System76 PanP7, we're seeing that the battery status stays at
Estimating... indefinitely. The Icon correctly reflects the current
charge percentage. Applying the PPA fix allows us to see the percentage
in the state, but there is still never a time estimate. We're seeing the
exact same issue on the SerP6 and the LemU2. I initially got a reading
for 5:05 for the Serval (Which is far too long), then it went away to be
replaced with estimating. Applying the fix on both computers allows the
indicator to display the battery percentage, but not the time remaining.
We've also seen this on our Star3 and Star4 models, so this is an across
the board issue. On all systems, in the battery data window, the Time
to Empty is 0 seconds and Time to Full is 0 seconds.

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2010-12-20 Thread Leif Walsh
Brian: I am using the patched upower and friends from your PPA, and I
have a regression: the estimated time is frequently calculated
incorrectly, due to an incorrect calculation of the current.  For
example, in typing this comment, I watched as three notifications went
by, all saying laptop battery low and reporting the battery at 5%, but
in order, they reported estimated remaining times at 0:12, 0:06, and now
0:20.  My power usage has not changed significantly during this period.
I believe this is due to a sampling error, though I haven't looked at
the patch so I can't say how often it really occurs or exactly how to
fix it.  In most cases it is fine though, so thank you for the work, but
I think it needs further review and testing before it is merged into
mainline.  Furthermore, Intel's powertop gets the current correctly 100%
of the time, maybe it is worth looking in to how they calculate it.

Also, I can say for certain that my device used to properly report
current_now, in fact, I had scripts that used this value before and they
worked perfectly.  I wish I could say with certainty when this
regression occurred, I expect it was due to a kernel update.  I know it
worked some time after I upgraded to maverick, but before I started
using the 2.6.36 kernel from kernel-mainline (because that was supposed
to fix the extra load balancing ticks, which it didn't really do,
sadly).  I don't expect that this is the issue though, since so many
others see this bug that are probably not using the 36 kernel.  I hope
to do more investigation in the future.

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2010-12-20 Thread Brian Rogers
Yeah, it's fairly inaccurate because upower samples the battery only
every 30 seconds, and many batteries only report charge level in
increments of a whole percent. So the estimator doesn't have precise
data for the charge level when it takes a reading, and when it sees a
change, all it knows is that that happened some time in the last 30
seconds.

With the version in my PPA, the estimates are projections from
alternating readings of the battery discharged 1% in 30 seconds and
the battery discharged 1% in 60 seconds or something similar to that.
I've done some experiments on my laptop with code that enforces a
minimum time interval and discharge amount before producing an estimate,
and it helps, but the estimates still fluctuate a bit.

I'd like to at least have a moving average estimate of the current (and
therefore time remaining) before submitting my patch. Or ideally, use
all that nice charge and discharge profile data that upower collects.

2010-12-20 Thread Brian Rogers
Oh, and you probably did lose current_now because of 2.6.36. It comes
directly from the kernel, so not many other components have a chance to
make it go away. Battery hardware varies, so it's easy to have a battery
bug only affect specific laptops. I'd recommend testing a mainline
2.6.35 kernel (to see if it's an Ubuntu patch that provides
current_now), then bisecting to find the commit that made it go away.
If/when you do find a bad commit, you should file a new bug.

My own battery has never reported current_now. Some batteries just don't
report that data in a way that linux knows how to get it, and probably
some aren't even capable of reporting that data.

I think one problem is that the kernel does not propagate the discharge 
information to the /sys architecture.  If I look at 
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
I can read
present: yes
capacity state:  ok
charging state:  charging
present rate:26018 mW
remaining capacity:  3800 mWh
present voltage: 10637 mV

But the rate is nowhere to be found in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/ and
it would appear that the battery applet is looking there now.

This is a Thinkpad T41 I am using, by the way.

For some people the battery is BAT0, and for others it's BAT1. I'm not

one of those paths won't even exist. As far as I know, current_now will
always be there if the battery directory is there.

2010-12-16 Thread David Kastrup
No, there is no current_now.  Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am
using natty currently and thus am in the wrong place to report the bug.
Anyway, I get

ls /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/
alarmenergy_full_design  power  status  uevent
cycle_count  energy_now  power_now  subsystem   voltage_min_design
device   manufacturerpresenttechnology  voltage_now
energy_full  model_name  serial_number  type

So there is power_now and energy_now, and power_now seems to carry
the right values.  If I take a look at the strings in
/usr/lib/upower/upowerd however, it would rather appear that upowerd is
instead looking for charge_now.

So it would seem that we have a discrepancy between the kernel file
name, and what upowerd is looking for.

I have no idea what the discrepancy (if any) in Maverick would be.

Looks like I am going to patch the upowerd binary as a first measure.

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2010-11-29 Thread Philip Guyton
I have just come across this problem again with another machine (my
previous post #107 was concerning a Compaq Presario A900 (bios f.33) )

This time it is with an HP Pavilion dv8000.
again whilst on battery:-
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now
0
so no drain info available so this time I installed Andy Eyre's libupower-glib1 
and upower from Brian Rogers hand ppa and the system now has working estimates 
of discharge and charge.

Thanks Andy and Brian.

My HP G62-121EE laptop has libupower-glib1 and upower installed but it shows
just laptop battery (estimating)... :-( But if I click the menu, the power
statistics shows correct values for the Energy, charge, battery capacity,
etc. Probably the developers could introduce a daemon which monitors the
battery charge during discharge, compare the value with battery capacity,
and compute the estimated time remaining from the 2nd minute, every minute
:-) This would be a machine/driver independent code and also be intelligent
enough to show correct statistics, even if the user changes his
power-management schemes.
An important note, though, is to have a timer ticking (restart the timer
after *suspend*-resume/ *sleep-*resume/ power-on) for the daemon itself,
instead of using system clock. This is necessary, else the computation would
be wrong if a user resumes the session after a sleep or hibernate. Worse
still, it would be inaccurate if the user has changed the battery after a
hibernate!

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2010-11-03 Thread Philip Guyton
I have this Laptop battery (estimating..) on battery left click.
Doesn't change - 
Compaq Presario A900 (bios f.33)

whilst on battery
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/current_now 
0
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state 
present: yes
capacity state:  ok
charging state:  discharging
present rate:0 mW
remaining capacity:  3422 mWh
present voltage: 10800 mV

So same situation where no current rate is given.
But graphic bat OK and % reading in  power stats details tab.
I haven't tried ppa:brian-rogers/power yet but thanks to Andy Eyre and Brian 
Rogers for the option.
As it is a client machine and non crucial bug I am reluctant to modify from 
vanilla much.

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2010-10-31 Thread Andy Eyre
Hey Guys

I don't know whether gpm continually showing estimating when upower is
giving it null information is a *bug* or not, but the fundamental
problem is a bug in upower, not a bug in gpm.

upower-0.9.5 incorrectly gives null battery runtime information when it
can't get a electrical current reading from the hardware. There is code
in upower-0.9.5 to guess the battery runtime information in the absence
of a current reading, but that code is broken. Hence gpm is continually
reporting estimating, waiting for a upower runtime estimate that it
will never receive.

I've patched the upower code, albeit in a fairly ugly way. I don't have
time to neaten this up - somebody can fix it upstream if they choose, or
perhaps neaten it up for an ubuntu-specific patch.

The patched upower code enables upower to estimate the battery runtime,
in the absence of a current reading. It takes a few minutes for the
battery charge state to move enough that an estimate can take place. On
my HP Mini 210 netbook, with this version of upower, gpm now estimates
the battery runtime and battery charge time, to within ballpark-correct
periods.

Anyway, a .deb of the hacked upower can be found at:

https://sites.google.com/site/andyeyre/files/upower_0.9.5-4eyre1_i386.deb?attredirects=0d=1

2010-10-26 Thread Thom Philips
Brian, you are amazing!

I've been through some early and difficult linux installs, many flavors,
a few savers.

Ubuntu has really been getting the hardware.

This is the deal changer for me and the growing amount of people I
convince to leave ms while they clutch at it with insecurity.

This first piece of hardware that's not recognized is either the deal
breaker or the many hour challenge for the tech.

Your power percentage is a sweet swirl of frosting on the cake. They
will eat cake too ;-)

I added your repository to the sources in synaptic, reloaded, then
marked install for the generic kernal header and update for the
(replacement) gnome-power-manager from you and whalla!

A working percentage display when clicking on the battery icon.
