--- Comment #3 from Landry Breuil <landry at xfce.org> ---
I dont have a linux system to test that. Can you recompile the plugin with
--enable-debug, reinstall it and look in .xsession-errors (or wherever your
session logs its debug output) to see what the plugin says about
proc/acpi/battery, and what codepaths are used ? Linux also uses sysfs /sys
tree first, and only /proc after it.

Code is in
http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-battery-plugin/tree/panel-plugin/libacpi.c#n277
for the acpi check and
http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-battery-plugin/tree/panel-plugin/battery.c#n239
for the caller.

To my understanding on linux, if check_acpi_sysfs doesnt return 0, then
check_acpi checks for /proc/acpi/battery, then if not found returns 2. The code
in battery.c then fallbacks to apm_read, instead of properly propagating the
failure to the plugin UI.
