/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity will show an accurate, current reading so use that instead. It updates as soon as the kernel is aware of a level change, which is very quickly indeed. I have a monitor in the bar that tracks charge status and it updates within a second if the cable is {dis,}connected.

No idea about Xfce's widget thingy though, sorry. I think that's supplied by xfce4-power-manager so check the settings in that application. Documentation here: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power- … references

I would be surprised if it wasn't just reading sysfs. Perhaps the level was changing slowly because it takes a while to charge. How quickly do you expect a battery to charge? Mine takes ages.

I cannot reproduce that in a freshly-installed daedalus system (2022-12-26 netinstall ISO).

Is this with sysvinit?

OpenBSD is not a "distro" [sic]. It is an operating system.

And it does this superbly, in my (eight year) experience.

None of the Arch developers make any money out of it.

The reasons for the switch to systemd were given in this excellent forum post by one of the developers:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1149530

I would strongly encourage you to read that because the reasoning is clear and entirely technical in nature, unlike the deranged, incoherent rantings of tin-foil hat wearers like yourself.

I'm curious: how exactly does one get "banned" from Arch Linux? If that were even possible I'm sure the Arch devs would have kicked those Manjaro bastards to the kerb a long time ago, if only to stop them DDoS'ing the AUR.[1]

I presume you are referring to the forums and it is certainly true that pointless rants about the init system are closed down pretty quickly but speaking as an active user on those boards (6,615 posts) I am very glad that is the case. The boards are for troubleshooting and reasonable discussion. Nothing said there will affect Arch development because very few Arch devs ever visit.

And anyway the systemd discussion thread to which I linked above went on for 18 pages and was only closed once the transition was completed. Everybody had their chance to pitch in with their (pointless) opinion.

Yes. Especially if you're not going to listen to suggestions and advice. The daedalus branch is still testing, the bookworm freeze doesn't start until next month, so it should probably only be used by people who know what they're doing. Or people who don't mind gratuitous random breakage.

Using old versions of glibc for an outdated browser is just moronic. Please stop posting bad advice.

Big up the New Brighton Massive!

Just file a bug report against the package. The maintainer will decide if it's serious enough to warrant a backported patch.

^ Nice! I'm now listening to New Brighton Radio NPR. It's like being back home without having to suffer the depredation and random drive-by gun attacks.

RIP Elle Edwards.

Oh dear, sorry Miyo, I'm being incredibly dumb. I just tried to run alltray. What an idiot I am...

Thanks for sharing!

Do you have a link to the source code? I'd like to try this in Arch & Alpine.

You have http://alltray.trausch.us/ as the Homepage but I can't reach it.

Yup, looks good:
