Battery status of Logitech EX-110 mouse unavailable

[Chris Coulson]

I never realised until just now that gnome-power-manager is capable of monitoring the status of wireless mouse batteries, mainly because it appears to have never worked with mine :(

The problem is that the battery status is not made available by the kernel (I assume it is meant to be).

Note in the above data, there is no information about a battery from HAL - I'm assuming that any information about the battery (if it existed) would be displayed there. I apologise if this is not the case.

There doesn't appear to be anything about batteries under /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-7/2-7:1.1/input either. I can't think of any sane way of attaching the information here though

Hi Chris,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 274896

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem and actually at least for my mouse battery monitoring already worked with 9.04. That was with xfce and I'm using gnome now. I never figured out what notified me in xfce about the mouse battery. For some reasons I tested karmic all the time, so I didn't use the packages from 9.04 for a long time and at some point it simply stopped to work. As batteries last for at least a month, I can't say which packages I updated in the mean time.

Same here for a Logitech MX 620.

I've got Logitech MK 300 (keyboard model name: Y-R0002 & mouse model M-R0006) and I'd like to have batery status in Ubuntu, too.

Chris Coulson, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
