Problem after waking up from sleep---help

[johninfant]

Hi friends.

This time my issue is, my battery module is not loaded after every wakeup from suspend..

Please help...

I suppose you mean that the battery is not fully charged
Now this must be divided into two problems
The laptop is connected to main, so your problem is that it is not being charged
The laptop is not connected to main so your problem is that it is being drained of charge - and depending on what you mean by sleep that may be no error because if you use suspend to RAM some power is used
Please clarify

Actually, I mean, charging and discharging are fine... Just I don't see the charging, discharging battery states in notification area... even batter level is not displayed in gadgets.. this happens when i suspend my laptop and wake up again.

I'll see if I can find something

Silly me - I forgot to ask you if you have gnome or KDE or something else
I've done some investigating but not yet found something

I am using Mint Gnome..

Does Mint use pm-utils?

Try putting a script like this in /etc/pm/sleep.d

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

case $1 in
  #commands you want run at suspend or hibernate
  suspend | hibernate)
    #unload battery module
    rmmod battery
  ;;
  #commands you want run at resume
  resume | thaw)
    #reload battery module
    modprobe battery
  ;;
esac

Make sure it's executable:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/yourscipt.sh

I use a similar script to restart my wireless after suspending.

Here's more information on pm-utils hooks:

Thanks for that piratesmack
There's some other way to do this as well, to exclude a module from going to sleep -there are several posts in the forum about it also among my posts
I primarily wanted to fix this within the GUI....
