How can I see more battery info when using Gnome shell?
I've been using Gnome Shell on Ubuntu and I've been fairly satisfied. One thing that I really wish was different though is the battery icon. I can't tell by glancing at it what my battery status is at all!
Is there are way to add the battery charge percent or the estimated battery time to the icon?
Take a look at these three extensions, which may be what you are looking for!
- Battery - remaining time and percentage
- Battery Power Statistics Shortcut
- Battery Percentage Indicator
Left click on the icon and click on the indicator and click Show Time in Menu Bar, if you are using Unity. If you are using GNOME Shell, then I don't think you can do anything about that (without an extension).
You can install screenlets , which has a screenlet that can show you some more battery info on your desktop. You will probably need to install the battery monitor screenlet as well.
run in a terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface show-battery-percentage true
You also can install acpid :
sudo apt-get install acpid
and run in a terminal :
acpi -V
OR the short version :
acpi -i
This will show you usefull informations :
