[Bug 1391555] Re: Bluetooth mouse battery reported as "Extra" battery

 

Problem solved in 14.04.1 when reverted to original kernel:

$ uname -a
Linux jjc-xps 3.13.0-44-generic #73-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 16 00:22:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Problem happens when using updated kernel also in the repositories:

Linux jjc-xps 3.16.0-29-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 16 20:54:13 UTC
2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So problem may be kernel-related or upower/gnome-power-manager not
understanding new kernels.

Previous report was generated with 3.16.0-29-generic #39.

People with 14.10 may try to boot with a 3.13 kernel and report here.

Title:
  Bluetooth mouse battery reported as "Extra" battery

Status in gnome-power-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In several places, the battery status for my Logitech M557 Bluetooth
  mouse is being incorrectly reported as a generic battery or laptop
  battery.

  This shows up in two places related to gnome-power-manager. In the
  System Settings/Power screen, under the heading "Batteries" there are
  two bars, one for "Main" and one for "Extra." The "Main" corresponds
  to the laptop battery and the "Extra" corresponds to the mouse
  battery. I expected to see a separate entry for the mouse, or at least
  a more descriptive label than "Extra."

  In the gnome-power-statistics interface, the mouse battery appears as
  "Laptop battery" with a model "Bluetooth Mouse M557." It should appear
  as a "Mouse battery: or "Bluetooth Mouse battery" or something
  similar.

  I am not certain that this is the appropriate package for the bug
  report because I do not know which is responsible for the initial
  error or whether it is an independent error in several packages. If I
  am in the wrong place, I would appreciate help routing this to the
  correct place. This (or a similar) bug also shows up in indicator-
  power. Let me know if I should post a bug separately for that package
  ---I am holding off because it seems possible that is a knock-on
  effect of the problem here and I don't want to spam the bug reports.
