I used nano to successfully edit the 95-upower-csr.rules in elementary OS Freya, as indicated by asmoore82.
I want to chime in and reiterate that mouse power management should take priority over OS power management. Battery usage tracking and management for laptops/netbooks should the primary, and dare I say only focus of the battery indicator. I believe that this is the feeling of the majority. I don't mean to dismiss the feelings or opinions of those who like to manage their mouse battery power. However, if the indicator can not be easily fixed to prioritize laptop battery over mouse battery, then I think mouse support should be removed until it can be fixed. Modern mouse power management is such that mice last for thousands of hours (many months) of constant use on a single set of batteries--in fact it is a selling point on the packaging of most mice. I also believe the lengths I had to go to to find this info is very anti-consumer, and it discourages wider adoption of Linux as an accessible, usable, OS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-power in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315434 Title: Mouse with no time remaining estimate showing in preference to battery being charged Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: When my laptop battery is in a charging state, but is not fully charged, I expect it to be displayed in preference to my mouse, which has no time remaining estimate. The spec here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power says: "If anything is discharging, the menu title should represent the component (not battery, but component) that is estimated to lose power first. For example, if your notebook battery is estimated to discharge in 1 hour 47 minutes, and your wireless mouse battery is estimated to discharge in 27 minutes, the menu title should represent the mouse. " but there doesn't seem to be any guideline to what happens when a battery is being charged. I suggest the time remaining to charge a battery should be displayed in preference to the power level in a wireless mouse.
