Battery Indicator
The battery Indicator in Ubuntu 16.10 doesn't appear unless I disconnect and reconnect the power supply. This on a Fujitsu Life book AH512, can anyone suggest a fix?

install a different type of battery icon app look inside of your UbUnTuTuTuTuTU setup/settings app and see if you can find anything on setting power options. |
Thanks, I've tried everything in settings, the OS doesn't seem to detect the battery until power is disconnected/reconnected no matter what application I try. It's not really a problem, just an irritation :)

In case you're not able to find a solution, perhaps filing a bug report with Ubuntu might be helpful. :) Regards... |
Fujitsu laptops are weird in their own way.
They have extra safe-gaurds built into their corp. series laptops. Supposedly to protect the clients using them. Ubuntu Link Mint Link Edit: I use conky in my Window Manager to handle my battery readings. Code:
${color}battery: ${color}$acpiacadapter, ${battery_percent BAT0}% https://github.com/pborky/batti-gtk/blob/master/batti |
Thanks, yes I think it's a Fujitsu issue rather than an Ubuntu one. Oh well, nearly time for a new laptop anyway :)

Well, if you have acpi and acpi tools installed in Ubuntu. You can compare the code with this terminal readout below.
Code:
$ acpi -b |
By comparing code. I mean whatever is written into battery indicator icon you are using in Ubuntu in what ever Desktop Environment you are using.
Because it might be just a minor adjustment needed in a text file by you. |
Excellent tip, thank you.

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop pm-utils upower
I ran into an issue when I did an apt-get install unity which basically had no icons / taskbar extras. From a minimal install. Perhaps some HDD corruption or update corruption that made things odd. Re-installation (of the packages, not the OS) might improve things. Otherwise there are other tools. $ upower -d Is how I normally check my battery status. Also shows the battery for the wireless mouse. You might also check if your laptop uses the fujitsu-laptop.ko kernel module and if there's "options" you can pass it. $ sudo modinfo fujitsu-laptop $ lsmod | grep -i fuji |
