I think it would be nice to be able to re-show the notification dialog 
on-demand. Show the same notification that appears when the power cord is 
plugged in or unplugged.

For me, it's useful to check the current time remaining (either to finish 
charging or before 0% power) without having to move my mouse to the corner of 
the screen. Instead, a key binding would be nice.

1. build the package (0.3.5) (via aur in arch)
2. after I start batti, I get an python error
...
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/batti/Battery.py", line 88, in set_value
    tooltip = _("Battery Level: %s%\% \nApproximately %s remaining") %
(info._percentage, self._str_time(info._time))
    ValueError: unsupported format character '\' (0x5c) at index 18

I'm not a programmer so I could be wrong, but me thinks it's a typo on line
88 in Battery.py
should be '%s%%' instead of '%s%\%'


thanx for this great little app

Please see the Arch Linux bug report:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28820

Here's a copy of the text from that bug report:

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

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.

---

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.

Thanks.

If I start batti, I get the following output:

Exception AttributeError: "'UPowerBattery' object has no attribute
'_UPowerBattery__signal_id'" in <bound method UPowerBattery.__del__ of
<batti.battery.UPowerBattery object at 0xa017b8c>> ignored

I use batti 0.3.1 on Archlinux.

I installed batti (0.3.7-1) on Arch x64 from the AUR,
but when i start it, the icons are not shown in the tray.
instead for all icons it shows the 'image-missing' icon from my gtk-theme.

When the battery runs down, the icon starts blinking
After that my laptop goes in hibernation.
After I fully charge it and turn it back on, the icon shows a full battery 
(right),
but it's still blinking like it's almost empty (wrong)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run batti
2. Disconnect battery
3. Reconnect battery

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected icon to disappear and reappear
Observed icon multiplying.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
batti 0.3.8-3 arch-linux

Please provide any additional information below.
n/a

This in a request for an ehancement so that the display of batti will provide 
the time remaining (or percentage of battery remaining) along with the icon. 
This will help in more quicker appraisal of the information to the user.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. batti & 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get the icon only. It would be helpful if the percentage of battery (or time) 
remaining were also displayed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3.8

Please provide any additional information below.
Happy to test any updates.

Hello all, 

First of all thanks for this very well working application you provide with 
batti. However I'm missing the crucial feature to be able to define a custom 
action on critical battery level. 

Can you provide the possibility to let the user define a critical level first, 
and then which command line action should be executed, e.g. pm-suspend?

Regards

At first thank you a lot for your useful small programm.
I installed batti 0.3.8 and it shows me «image-missing» icon after running. 
Also I saw in changelog phrase «removed status icons from package». Batti 
0.3.7 worked fine for me and showed me nice icons in the tray. So, my question 
is — can you restore icons in the package? I know that my icon theme must 
draw me battery icons, but I think that I don't have them and I don't want to 
change current icon theme or batti for something else.

When I run batti I don't got any icons just the black page icon indicating 
there is a missing icon. How can I fix this?

On the OLPC XO platform, Hibernate is not available, and upower knows this 
(confirmed with "upower -d").

However, the Hibernate option still appears on batti's menu.

This is because batti isn't looking at the right part of the upower dbus 
interface in order to determine if hibernate functionality is available.

Patch attached.

Gentoo amd64, batti 0.3.8-r1 :

Tooltip: "Battery level 38%, providing power for 1:57 minutes"

$ acpi -V | grep -i battery
Battery 0: Discharging, 74%, 01:58:14 remaining
Battery 0: design capacity 5600 mAh, last full capacity 2894 mAh = 51%

I'm not using bleeding-edge kernel:
$ uname -sr
Linux 3.7.1-gentoo

so this shouldn't be acpi-only functionality.

$ acpi == http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpiclient/


Thanks!
