DetailsDescription:
I have notebook MSI EX600 YA Blue Edition and I have problem with battery. The problem is only in ArchLinux, I was testing it on Ubuntu and there it was working well. In cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state are nonsenses. When tha battery is fully charged, it's OK, but there's problem if the state lowers, values are jumping, it shows that it's charging when the notebook is unpluged or it shows 100% charged, than it jumps down to 0% (and keeps it for a while) and than back to another value. The content of the /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state KLaptop shows nonsenses is: present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: unknown remaining capacity: unknown present voltage: 10000 mV And that's very strange. We were trying to solve the problem on some forums bud I've found out, it's probably bug in kernel26 package. |
This task depends upon
and read that some of them have issues with acpi. Some of issues can be solved by a custom DSDT.
for one (maybe similar model) I've found this:
* ACPI - not properly working AC/DC and battery management (Linux problem only) - solved by noacpi in kernel line in GRUB
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/MSIMegabookGX700)
Well I don't know what are differences between Arch and Ubuntu kernel packages. Probably I could try to use vanilla kernel.
[progdan@notas ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charged
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: unknown
present voltage: 10000 mV
OR its absolutly ignoring battery:
[progdan@notas ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: no
After plugging in, it shows either 100% charged, 0% charged or N/A. Sometimes it shows right values.
I'll watch it for few next day and try to find out something more.
