battery monitor in panel not working completely

[lxlizard]

Hello!

I am using pclos lxde on an ibm thinkpad a21m .

The battery monitor applet in the panel shows green when the laptop is plugged in and yellow when unplugged, but the percent never changes from 100%. Even when the battery is nearly completely drained.

I did this in terminal and got this in reply:


ls /sys/class/power_supply/
AC@ BAT0@

When using enlightenment the battery monitor works only if the internal box is checked, rather than the hal box. I'm tossing that out here because it might be relevant in some way.

Is there a config file or something I can edit to get this sorted so the battery monitor in lxpanel can tell me how much battery I have left?

Thanks much!

Fixed in git commit 93d9373574fcb0ed63cc4be7807343b018daad1a.

I did not like the taskbar default battery monitor on my Antix Debian Wheezy LXDE installation.

I posted my conkyrc and where I got my different batterymon from in my thread. Just unzip it into /home/yourusername, open the folder that is extracted and double left click on battery.py in folder.
