No such application is available. Oh, I see it listed in
gronmayer's listing but after deleting and reinstalling
the maemo extra repository (watching out for the little
spelling mistake that necessitates the "temp fix" - what
crap) there is no such package in my listing as
python2.5-dbus ..
However, installing the monster package python2.5-
runtime did the trick ...
So what is the relation between the dbus package and
the runtime package?
python2.5-dbus is in fact in the extras repository:
...But for some reason on an N800 with OS2008, it just freezes when i do the command alone instead of giving the time left and going back to the prompt.
And with -d 1 it prints the ------------ line and then does nothing... Any idea?
EDIT: Oh yes... unplug the device first haha, cheers ;-)
Weird. On my N810, the app says "Charging" when the device is plugged in.
After my Diabo upgrade, battery-status worked for awhile, but some of the python stuff didn't go well and was affecting other apps. Now I think they all work, but now battery-status only runs as root. Under the user "user" it just returns nothing. Is there a permission or search path problem somewhere? The "internal-temp" program still works under "user".
I have a "Personal Menu" shortcut to battery-status because I find the normal battery status bar applet confusing. I wish there was a replacement for it that just gave the percentage number like battery-status and like on every other PC laptop.

Could you tell me what your Personal Menu section for the battery-status LOG is? I can't figure out what to enter in the fields to get it to work correctly.
Also, how do I view my log? The command listed doesn't do anything for me.
EDIT: Now, battery-status doesn't even seem to be working when I enter it in XTerm. I even tried reinstalling it. Light-meter works, though. Any ideas?
I'm guessing that the power management in the n810
is just not very sophisticated ...
I know I'm really late on this, but I just "found" this thread.
In reply to this particular question (insofar as the poster is still incarnated, let alone interested): Due to the nature of the charging process of LiIon batteries, a charge percentage while charging is completely uninformative. The only trustworthy measure is when the indicator gives a "battery fully charged" warning. A charging battery might give values of 90%, only to drop immediately to below 70 or even 50% when disconnected. LiIons charge in a very funny way.
