           Summary: Powerdevil doesn't detect if AC Adapter is plugged in
                    or not, when system is running
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde.m5o at gishpuppy.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When I unplug my AC Adapter, it doesn't change to battery, instead, says it's
still charging. It doesn't change power states because of this and I don't get
a notification when my battery runs out. I ran 'acpi' and reports back properly
when the AC Adapter is online or offline.



"acpi -V" reports:

When plugged in:

Battery 1: charged, 50%
Thermal 1: ok, 49.0 degrees C
AC Adapter 1: on-line

When unplugged:

Battery 1: discharging, 50%, 01:06:04 remaining
Thermal 1: ok, 48.0 degrees C
AC Adapter 1: off-line

However, PowerDevil doesn't reflect this. It *does* detect this however when
the system is booting up, but once the system is running, it doesn't work.
