<br></div><div>The KDE Battery monitor thinks that I have no battery life left, and<br></div><div>suspends my laptop in 30 seconds.<br><br></div><div>From the OS level, everything looks fine. Here is the output<br>of:<br>

</div><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure, but I think that the KDE battery monitor<br>is getting confused that the hardware supports having two batteries,<br>but I only have one battery installed.<br></div><div><br></div>
<div>I see that Alberto Villa submitted this patch to KDE:<br></div><div><br><a href="https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/110941/">https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/110941/</a><br><br></div><div>I think this patch is related to my problem and may solve it. Has this patch<br>
</div><div>been pushed upstream to KDE, or do we have it in the FreeBSD port?<br><br></div><div>Thanks.<br>--<br></div><div>Craig<br></div><div><br></div></div>
