Any help?

Thanks

Re: battery

root@slitaz:/home/tux# cat /proc/acpi/battery/{BAT0}/info

cat: can't open '/proc/acpi/battery/{BAT0}/info': No such file or directory

Re: battery

You view from folder /proc/acpi/battery have anything or folder with another name.

From terminal view folder content from command

ls /proc/acpi/battery

On my case the notebook have two slot for battery, and in to folder battery there are instead C1BD C1BE.

Change in to previous command folder {BAT0} on your name folder instead,

for me becomes example.

cat /proc/acpi/battery/C1BD/info   or   cat /proc/acpi/battery/C1BE/info
