Mouse with no time remaining estimate showing in preference to battery
Just a heads up regarding this issue, running acpi -V returns the
correct battery percentage even if the indicator shows the wrong one.

2nd issue with this bug: battery indicator not updating status.
While editing the .rule file resolves the prioritization of mouse power
over laptop power issue, the battery status indicator does not update in
a frequent fashion.

The last patch/update from Elementary changed the referred file name to :

Where it had previously been:

After the latest updates for elementary OS, my battery only shows 100%.
I have edited the file with Nano, but there has been no change in the

Agh!
The OS update this week overwrote the workaround, and the mouse was re-
prioritized over laptop power.
Of course, my laptop ran out of power because the battery indicator said
I had plenty of charge, because it was sensing my battery, not my
laptop.
Please resolve this bug.

I could not easily find this workaround from a google search so
documenting it here:
Typical use with caution notice, may cause a (small) rift in the

Even if this means most devices will need to be blacklisted? Wouldn't it
require an extreme amount of effort to start blacklisting every mouse

My mouse is always 90% or 5% (no intermediate values) and it changes
~4-5 times a week; mostly when the laptop suspends. The mouse uses
batteries and it's always the one showed in the notifications area. In
fact I think the mouse does not even report the remaining time (it's not

It will, yes. If your laptop battery is charging, or is discharging, it will

If your laptop battery is fully charged, your mouse will be shown.

Ah OK. My mouse only gives a percentage (0, 5, or 90%), although
sometimes incorrect (it goes to 5 to go back to 90). I hope the last
commit will fix behaviour on my machine.

Just to play devil's advocate a bit here:
The logic taken in this bug (that we should show the device that will
run out of power first) seems perfectly sound, but it makes a very large
assumption, which I suspect will often be untrue: that reporting of time
remaining on mice will always be
It's very funny to see how Canonical justifies this stupid new
feature. In the meantime I switched to Debian Wheezy (one of the
reasons was this feature) and now I'm on FreeBSD (because of systemd

Good luck to all that stay on Ubuntu. ;-)

I agree with having the option to always see the laptop battery status
in the notifications area, and having all other present batteries shown
in the dropdown menu. Even when the laptop battery is fully charged,
somebody (like me) could have a flaky AC connection and not see the
battery status
I also much prefer to ALWAYS see my laptop battery state (charging,
charged, or otherwise). The fact that my logitech mouse AA batteries
are always at 55% is completely useless. My laptop power state is
ALWAYS the most important thing.
Think of it this way: if the mouse battery dies, you
I also agree with these comments and this problem affects me. I
constantly use a wireless mouse on my laptop, so essentially I can never
see my laptop battery charge without either unplugging my mouse or
having to click on the mouse icon on the top. This makes no sense-

I'm using my laptop a lot and to avoid pain in my wrist, I'm using BT

Also, Ubuntu (more specifically user interface) is getting better and

I was under the impression my laptop was at 70% when it shut off just a

Even now, it has just started charging and still the mouse shows up
first. And even if I turn the mouse off it STILL overrides the laptop
battery.
