<bat> missing or incorrect

[kinkod]

when i run sudo service tpacpi start, it fails. The error message is " missing or incorrect". I have tried setting battery to 0 1 and 2 in config file. Same error with all numbers. Also removed doublequotes so the numbers are integers, same problem.

System is Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530 which is listed as a supported system.
Running Linux Mint 19.1

/etc/conf.d/tpacpi/tpacpi.conf.d

# battery is 1 for main, 2 for secondary, or 0 for either/both
BATTERY="0"

# Start charging threshold (0 for default, 1-99 for percent)
START_THRESHOLD="40"

# Stop charging threshold (0 for default, 1-99 for percent)
STOP_THRESHOLD="80"

journalctl -xe

sorry, the service files are provided only for convenience and is not supported (by me) at all.
if you run tpacpi-bat directly, does it work?

e.g.:

wolke:~$ sudo tpacpi-bat -s ST 1 0
wolke:~$ sudo tpacpi-bat -g ST 1
0 (default)
wolke:~$ sudo tpacpi-bat -s ST 1 50
wolke:~$ sudo tpacpi-bat -g ST 1
50 (relative percent)
wolke:~$ sudo tpacpi-bat -s ST 1 0
wolke:~$ sudo tpacpi-bat -g ST 1
0 (default)

Seems to work. Thank you. sudo tpacpi-bat -s ST 1 0 sudo tpacpi-bat -s SP 1 0 These reset to default?

sudo tpacpi-bat -g ST 1 128 (unknown) Why does it show 128 (unknown) instead of 0 (default)? Any idea?

(sorry! very likely #37. which in turn is likely a firmware bug)
