Mate Power Manager 1.16: With USE=pm-utils does not show charge of Logitech unified devices
Closed this issue · 4 comments
With pure upower, PM shows remaining charge level and general status of Logitech wireless devices paired and connected over unified receiver. With upower-pm-utils, this function does not work and PM icon shows only charge of the laptop battery.
Should be noted that in my case charge level of wireless devices is... bogus due to mouse and keyboard working from batteries, not accumulator.
I thinks you should report this kind of issue to upstream, not to here. I would not know where to begin with to solve that issue.
This is caused by a driver name change in linux kernel 3.19.
I have to apply a patch[0] to pm-utils udev rule to detect logitech unified receiver devices.
I also opened a bug[1] at b.g.o, but they seem not to care, sadly.
I hope it helps.

Maybe you just need to ask for a version bump?
Closing, not relevant here.
