The battery name for my laptop is not recognised.

ls /proc/acpi/battery gives BAT1 as the battery type for my Acer Apire 3500 laptop.

I remember reading somewhere that you were requesting battery names.

Make sure that you have updated .bash_profile and .torsmorc files.
Both are needed for the name extracted from /proc to be inserted into torsmo.

Yes, it should be getting_started, not getting-started.

Also, for me, apps in mydsl directory are loaded but not listed in the mydsl menu. My apps in mydsl/optional are listed correctly though.

Maybe I am missundrstanding how this is supposed to work.

The typo has been reported and will be fixed.

Re: mydsl, I am not seeing such.

Are you running an upgrade? Can you test by booting with

base norestore

and then

norestore

@roberts

I am booting from a livecd, nothing saved to HD or USB key.

>>>Make sure that you have updated .bash_profile and .torsmorc files.

So does this still apply?

Thanks Phil

This is the line in the .tormsorc file

${color #ddd}Battery: $color ${battery BAT1}

And this is what is displayed on screen

Battery: unknown 0%

Will check the laptop thread for info.

Regards Phil

Update: this is probably why my battery is not showing properly

cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: yes
ERROR: Unable to read battery status
