Description Lauri Kasanen 2007-12-10 17:53:42 CET 
When on battery power, it doesn't show the time, it just shows "00:00:00".

I'm using acpi, if that matters..
The plugin is either 0.4.90.3 or 0.5, I don't remember and it doesn't list the version.
Comment 1 Alexander Toresson 2007-12-10 17:59:01 CET 
Is the correct remaining time output by acpi -b when on battery power?
Comment 2 Lauri Kasanen 2007-12-11 15:54:00 CET 
Not sure, I don't have acpid installed
Comment 3 flo 2011-02-18 17:08:13 CET 
i had the same problem with plugin ver 1.0.0

the problem is simple: it looks for a file called "current_now", and expects the current rate be there. however, on some systems (like mine), the file is called "power_now"

i've attached the patch
