Battery Indicator stuck at 100%

Post by Solidus »

Hi,

I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon on my Dell Inspiron laptop about two months ago, and everything was working fine until last week. I let my laptop charge completely when it was suspended, and then I resumed using it. I found that the battery indicator in the panel (the power management widget) was stuck at 100%. It started to display the correct percentage only after a reboot. Now I'm having this issue every time I charge my laptop. Acpi also displays the wrong percentage in the terminal. Can someone please help me out?

Thanks.

It's complicated but you start here https://community.linuxmint.com/softwar ... lm-sensors

Edit: - My bad didn't read it was working previously (It's a habit).

It happens on and off now, but never happened last month. It could be because of one of the updates I installed. I'm not sure how I can fix it.
