Has anyone else had this issue/have a resolution? I've seen a lot of people playing with i3 setups on here, so hoping someone else's past struggles found the solution.

Try by changing the path to:

Code:

path = "/sys/class/power_supply/cw2015-battery/uevent"

Remaining time does not work for me but at least you will have the percentage.

Listing  out the above file returns No such file or directory on my system.
The pinebook pro does not have the same battery as you describe above.  It has swhat I had posted: /sys/class/power_supply/rk-bat/ueven

(01-20-2020, 04:08 PM)I had trouble with this at first too. The usual things I tried did not work. But in the end, since I installed i3 over the default debian, I just added "exec_always mate-power-manager" to my config. If you didn\t install over debian, you can still download the mate-power-manager, will show up in your tray.dummy Wrote: So, finally had the time to sit down and try to whip this thing into shape since getting it, so far solid hardware and no more issues than I would have expected with a product like this.

I've got a patch that enables that here: https://github.com/C-Elegans/i3status.

Essentially the issue is i3status is looking for a field called POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW with the current state of charge in Wh or mAh that it can use to calculate the battery run time. The pinebook battery doesn't provide this, however it does expose a field called POWER_SUPPLY_TIME_TO_EMPTY_NOW which has the number of minutes until the battery is empty. My patch just has i3status look at that if it's present instead of trying to calculate the runtime from the other fields.

Hope this helps!
