[gentoo-user] Battery plugin on fbpanel

[gentoo-user] Battery plugin on fbpanel

[William Ernesto Cárdenas Gómez]

Hello

I am testing fbpanel and generally I like it, but the battery plugin
does not work. The plugin only says "Running on AC No battery found"
I have been searching on the web but no solution to this problem.

¿Did anybody knows where to get or have info about this?

  Have you tried it with the machine unplugged?  Do you have the
necessary items enabled in your kernel config?  In "make menuconfig" I
have...

Power management and ACPI options  --->
    [*] ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support  --->
            <*>   AC Adapter
            <*>   Battery
            ...and various others.


  Also, what is the output of "ls -al /sys/class/power_supply/"?  I get

total 0

drwxr-xr-x 42 root root 0 Nov 22 05:29 ..

I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

Plugged and unplugged is the same problem.

The output is
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 0 nov 22 16:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 49 root root 0 nov 22 16:21 ..

No problem with tint2 and conky.
