Lupu battery indicator wrong on Eee PC

[nibl]

The battery indicator in lupu always shows 1%, even when it's 100%.
I have an Eee PC 701 with lupu 5.1.1 and latest patch update (002).
The indicator in Puppy 4.2 worked fine.

Any workarounds? Is the indicator called Conky?

Thanks.

Update: With the latest patch (002) for Lupu 5.1.1, it shows the increasing load while charging, when you click on the icon. So you have to click and look at the current load manually.

Not good, because your system can crash due to a low battery and you didn't know.

Can the battery app from Puppy 4.2 be placed into 5.1.1?

Thanks, Lupu is otherwise really great. Firefox and Chromium are super fast on my Eee PC 701.

Sorry for the late post, but I'm seeing this issue on my Eee 900. Stuck at 1%.

I'm hoping the hardware LED still starts blinking at 20%.

I am not on Puppeee right now on my EEEPC 701SD (running AntiX). I use Conky to monitor battery, fan speeds, temps,etc......

This is a pretty simple Conky I run on small screen real estate. You are welcome to try it out I guess.

Thanks, trying it out now.

I installed conky and got most of what I want. I removed the battery mon out of ~/Startup since it wasn't doing anything useful.

Thanks for the nudge. BTW, I use fluxbox on my deskop; it's lovely and clean. I don't use it on the netbook because of all the rightclicking required.
