[Bug 1100546] Re: Power indicator favours 'not present' mouse over laptop battery level

 

Matthew, this was the closest bug I found for the problem I experienced
in having a mouse indication that I don't care about (and others too:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/361022/how-to-disable-mouse-power-status-
in-indicator-power).  If you know a better bug please point me to it, or
I can write one.

Personally, I don't need notification if the keyboard or mouse is about
to drop it's last little battery power, because worst-case I just have
to flip the laptop lid open and use it that way. Gamers might feel
different, so that's why I made it configurable.

Title:
  Power indicator favours 'not present' mouse over laptop battery level

Status in The Power Indicator:
  New
Status in “indicator-power” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The power indicator shows the battery level for cordless mice and
  keyboards, even when it cannot identify the battery level. This is a
  problem as it seems to favour showing a "not present" mouse status
  over the laptop battery level in the top bar.

  I haven't done a good job of explaining it, so check out the
  screenshot - it will explain all :)

  Basically, the laptop battery should be shown in the top bar if the mouse/keyboard is "not present".
  Also hiding the mouse and keyboard when the battery level is unknown would also be useful too :)
