Hello,
I have a laptop with F21 running well. I have been trying to get the alerts to work for the battery monitor. Some times they do but most times they do no.
Screen dimming will work if the battery is low some times. Pop up message will work sometimes. Audible alarm will work some times.
Most times, the only indication that the battery is critical is when the battery dies.
I have not found any decent documentation.
Battery indication is working with the battery widget on the panel. I did all the configuration from this dialogue.
I need to get it working reliably.
What do I look for when testing?
Here are the power configuration files. ===================
