Cinnamon battery Applet not working on cinnamon 6.6

[compact wadi]

Hi, I wanted to ask if the issue with the Cinnamon battery applet not correctly displaying the percentage on laptops has been resolved?
(I'll ask you again)

[orchid wigeon]

same problem

mostly

[orchid wigeon]

It is a Cinnamon bug and github issue is still open

https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/13324

Same problem

Restarting cinnamon updates the percentage but doesn't fix the issue

I've just been checking using Sudo tlp stat -b at this point

[orchid wigeon]

iirc the power management app correctly sees the battery percentage

[cyan trail]

Yes it does but opening it is slower than just checking with terminal

Or I could just restart cinnamon whenever I need an update

It's annoying regardless tho

[orchid wigeon]

yeah

also i edited the cinnamon low-battery percentage value to get the warning early

[cyan trail]

Is there any way to set it up so that the applet refreshes automatically?

[orchid wigeon]

maybe a background job that loads and unloads the applet but that's inefficient

and would probably break

so nah

[compact wadi]

There's something I don't understand about the fourth step, where is the editing done that's mentioned there?

[compact wadi]

@orchid wigeon That's what I don't understand about step 4

Sorry for the inconvenience

[orchid wigeon]

basically it's asking you to log (print) those values after they get updated in the code itself

Hasn't this bug been fixed yet?

[orchid wigeon]

no and since it's not a breaking bug it'll probably take a while

[orchid wigeon]

you can follow updates here though

[cyan trail]

the issues been closed on the github, and a new release here is out

does that mean its fixed?

[orchid wigeon]

if commit says so then yeah probably

although no update has been pushed to the repository yet

as far as i know

[cyan trail]

is that done like with a bunch of commits all at once or pretty frequently for singular commits?

[orchid wigeon]

you can check though, just refresh the update manager

[cyan trail]

yeah i did wasnt there

[orchid wigeon]

generally an update to Cinnamon is performed once when upgrading point releases. However if there are awful bugs more updates can be released post-upgrade

[cyan trail]

this is my first time on linux and i think the nature of open source is so cool. being able to follow this bug and see its progress is awesome, never wouldve been possible on windows

[orchid wigeon]

facts

[cyan trail]

fixed in new cinnamon update
