[00:06] <mjg59> cetex: Event, by and large
[00:06] <mjg59> Some devices won't deliver battery level without polling
[00:26] <lamont> if I want to tell the kernel to just flat out ignore the do-not-fragment field, is that just a sysctl? or ?
[00:37] <cetex> mjg59: thanks. I'm wondering since it takes about a minute before a battery shows up in acpi on my laptop.
[00:38] <cetex> mjg59: the laptop has 2, one internal and one pluggable, when i remove the pluggable one it disappears within a couple of seconds. when i plug in a new one it takes slightly over a minute before it shows up.
[00:39] <mjg59> Shows up in the UI, or shows up in sysfs?
[00:41] <cetex> i replaced the battery within 10 seconds, and this is from syslog:
[00:41] <cetex> Feb 28 21:51:50 kernel: [ 9633.140290] ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.BAT1: undocking
[00:41] <cetex> Feb 28 21:53:01 kernel: [ 9704.235534] ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.BAT1: docking
[00:41] <mjg59> Sounds like the firmware
[00:42] <mjg59> But also possibly a Linux bug in dealing with the firmware
[00:42] <cetex> battery firmware?, bios/uefi?
[00:42] <mjg59> ACPI
[00:42] <cetex> hm, right.
[00:43] <cetex> so, file a bug somewhere?, i believe i'm running the latest firmware. (going to doublecheck this weekend though)
[00:43] <cetex> err, bios and stuff.
[00:46] <cetex> tried it again. seems to take exactly one minute..
[00:46] <cetex> hm
[00:47] <cetex> pluged it in on 01:44:45, appeared 01:45:46.
[00:50] <cetex> shouldn't be an issue usually, i switched batteries today when i had ~3minutes left in total, i plugged the battery in, and in slightly less than one minute the os shutdown causing me to loose some work. (i'll remember to switch earlier in the future though)
[01:02] <cetex> i'll look into it some more tomorrow. will probably be back. ping me if anyone would happen to be interested.. ;)
