As I wrote, I cannot change informations exported to HAL. HAL is userspace application which does not have anythink with my patches.
If you have problem with incorrect battery values, check first what kernel driver are reporting. It is in folder /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0 and in file uevent.

If Kernel module driver 'bq27x00_battery' IS loaded, then we can access '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_bq27200_0' values and we use the value from the field 'battery.charge_level.percentage'.
After that :
Code:
+ else if ( system("pgrep -f ^/usr/sbin/bme_RX-51") == 0 )
+ battery->percent = libhal_device_get_property_int(ctx, "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme", "battery.charge_level.percentage", NULL);
Else, Kernel module driver 'bq27x00_battery' IS NOT loaded, and we cannot access '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_bq27200_0', so we check if bme IS loaded, and if so, then we can access '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme' values and we use the value from the field 'battery.charge_level.percentage'.
And finally :
Code:
+ else + battery->percent = 0;
Else, we cannot access any parameters, so just report battery percent as '0%'
Do you agree with my analyze of your patch ?
If so, how can you explain that :
Code:
-bash-2.05b# lshal -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_bq27200_0 | grep battery.charge_level.percentage && lshal -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme | grep battery.charge_level.percentage battery.charge_level.percentage = 56 (0x38) (int) battery.charge_level.percentage = 95 (0x5f) (int)
You can trust me, the right is the one reported by bme !!!

bq27x00.ko kernel module is deprecated as it breaks bme by exclusively occupying the I2C bus to that chip. BME otoh wants to access the chip directly, and so segfaults whenever bq27x00.ko is loaded.
Please keep this in mind
thanks

I have "Linux kernel for power users v.1:2.6.28-10power47" installed (additionally CSSU and multiboot-kernel-power v.0.3.1).
Since some days the system denies updating to "linux kernel for power users (boot image) 2.6.28.10" with showing the following screens:
Linux kernel for power users (boot image) 2.6.28.10 in order to be updated in the program manager
Error message that this is breaks the 3rd party package policiy
Program details summary
Program details description
Program details problem info
Does someone has an idea to solve the problem?
Regards, Kyros

Regarding my GPS/network location issue, possibly related to v47, I have split it to another thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...53#post1004853
Any hint/confirmation/... welcome!
EDIT: as one report of v46 + CSSU claims there is no problem, this probably rules out CSSU, meaning v47 has our attention :/

Use dd to write the kernel image to the end of the uboot image.
Flash this combined image.
Each of these directions can be found with actual detailed directions on this very forum.

All times are GMT. The time now is 19:05.
The values reported are BAD when fetched with the command (you can trust me on that) :
Easy to verify step by step, if I modprobe -r bq27x00_battery then on the desktop, after some seconds for the applet refresh, the value revert back to the bme value and report properly 25% of battery available, if I modprobe the backported driver then, the applet refresh and show 0% of battery available ...
I have installed the v47 since you released it, and no problem until today.
So the question is : What I have made today ?
Answer, here is how I triggered this BUG :
I have a desktop battery charger, and yesterday night I have omitted to charge my N900, so this morning I have powered off the N900 because I have no more battery power and the device reported 2%.
Then I have replaced the battery by the one fully charged by my desktop charger some days ago, and during today the problem occur ...
Since the problem occur, the value reported for parameter 'battery.charge_level.percentage' is '0' and this is the value used by the applet 'battery' you patched ...
How can you explain, today, my applet reported 0% battery available during all the afternoon ?
It look like bme values reported take care of this scenario (changing physically the used battery by one fully charged) where the new driver does not ...
So there is really a bug when we fetch information from the backported driver ...
