  • Bug#266643: laptop-mode-tools: division by 0 in /etc/acpi/actions/lm_ba

    From Ludovic Rousseau@1:229/2 to All on Wed Aug 18 17:00:19 2004

    Package: laptop-mode-tools
    Version: 0.97-1
    Severity: normal

    Hi,

    My ACPI system does not provide the discharging present rate. I have:
    $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
    present: yes
    capacity state: ok
    charging state: discharging
    present rate: 0 mA
    remaining capacity: 6450 mAh
    present voltage: 12540 mV

    So the script fails with an error in the logs:
    /etc/acpi/actions/lm_battery.sh: line 27: ((: 6322 * 60 / 0 < 10: division by 0 (error token is "< 10")
    since $PRESENT_RATE is set to 0.

    Maybe the best would be to skip this test if PRESENT_RATE == 0.


    Note that a new version 0.97 is available at http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/tools/.

    That would be good, yes. Thanks!

    I know, I'm the "bsamwel" in that URL. Expect 0.98 to be available soon. :)

    This should be fixed in 0.98+ (pending upload). If you want to try it
    now, you can download the package at the laptop-mode-tools page:
