Battery widget

[balanga]

Is there anything like a battery monitor widget available for lxde?

I use lxqt-powermanagement for the systemtray-icon and options sysutils/lxqt-powermanagement
Although I don't use lxde, but EXWM as window manager.

Maybe you can use sysutils/upower to call for the battery status and display the result. I made a small script for this and call that script for the status line in sysutils/screen. It might work for a status line battery monitor in LXDE as well.

#!/bin/sh

upower -d | grep percentage | sed -n "1p" | sed -e 's/^.* //'

For other solutions try the Arch Linux forum and wiki. There is a lot of usable code there that works out of the box in FreeBSD.

upower -d | grep percentage | sed -n "1p" | sed -e 's/^.* //'

This seems too complicated in comparison to:

sysctl -n hw.acpi.battery.life
