Re: Lm-sensors

That gave me BAT0 (laptop battery) voltage but not CMOS (Vbat ?) voltage. Maybe not doable.

Re: BAT0

Been there. The sensors command doesn't output the CMOS battery voltage for my laptop.
Not critical, no signs of bad CMOS, but would be nice to know before things go south. A bit of pain to get to the CMOS battery just to check it with volt meter.

BAT0

My laptops battery is BAT0.
I used upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 to determine laptops battery health.
How is the CMOS battery designated? I tried BAT1 with no result.
Can the CMOS battery's health be determined from the command line?

GIMP Forum

Please suggest GIMP user forum. I did have gimpusers.com membership. Can't find "login at top of page" Also gimp-forum.net. Not taking my password and not getting Email verification reply after clicking on "Lost Password?" Not in Junk, etc. Even tried Firefox troubleshoot mode.
