Description:
batti keeps spitting out these errors:-
ERROR:dbus.connection:Exception in handler for D-Bus signal:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 214, in maybe_handle_message
self._handler(*args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/batti/Battery.py", line 273, in __on_property_modified
state = self.__properties.Get(self.dbus_iface, 'State')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 143, in __call__
**keywords)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 630, in call_blocking
message, timeout)
DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist

It spawns many copies of the notification for battery power and the tray icon, while upowerd goes crazy writing to my HD root partition (couldn't find anything abnormal in error logs though, so not sure where its writing to).

Additional info:
* package version(s)
upower-0.9.15-1
batti-0.3.8-3
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Just run batti. Noticed the problem after a system update (I'm using [testing]) of the following:-
bluez
chromium
feh
git
libxmu

None of which seem related. It may have been an earlier update though, but I only noticed the symptoms after the update of the above.
This task depends upon

Thanks for reporting, I'll look at the issue.

Additional comment based on testing since then, this only occurs when the laptop is currently charging. It does not occur when:-

1. Laptop is on battery power
2. Laptop is fully charged but plugged in to AC

Hope that's useful.

No fix (or response to the bug report) for the last two months, considering moving this package to unsupported.

Unfortunately that seems the best 'solution' =(

Line 214 in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py looks different now on my system from when the bug was first reported.
I'm unable to reproduce the error. Would you mind trying again, on a fully updated system, and post the error message here?
