Dell Xps 13 running Kubuntu Plasma. Had this same issue on GNOME, and it transferred over to KDE while I was installing it. Battery management in settings only shows it has AC Input (which is when I'm connected to a charger), but shows no battery percentage or status. It's like it doesn't detect a battery at all.
Running acpi -V
gives me the battery info I want, though.
Battery 0: Discharging, 94%, 11:32:29 remaining
Battery 0: design capacity 7894 mAh, last full capacity 5608 mAh = 71%
indicator-power
is installed, and at its latest version.
upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
gives me the following information (same when I used BAT1
instead of BAT0
):
native-path: (null)
power supply: no
updated: Wed 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 PM EST (1580143725 seconds ago)
has history: no
has statistics: no
unknown
warning-level: unknown
battery-level: unknown
icon-name: '(null)'
I tried writing acpi=force
to sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
, but with no avail.
Another fix I tried was /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-power/indicator-power-service &disown
, which displays the following:
william@william-XPS-13-9360:~$ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-power/indicator-power-service &disown
[1] 2820
william@william-XPS-13-9360:~$
(process:2820): indicator-power-WARNING **: 11:51:30.238: Unable to enumerate UPower devices: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: An AppArmor policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient; type="method_call", sender=":1.175" (uid=1000 pid=2820 comm="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-power/indicato" label="unconfined") interface="org.freedesktop.UPower" member="EnumerateDevices" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.UPower" (uid=0 pid=1011 comm="/snap/upower/22/usr/libexec/upowerd " label="snap.upower.upowerd (enforce)")
I don't really know the contents of the message, tried searching it up, but provided no answers.
If anyone is able to help me with this problem, it would be great. In the meantime, I'll resort to using acpi -V
to check my battery percentage.
