Battery icon missing Linux mint
by awaismalik from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NFFV)
I have installed Linux mint 20 on my notebook. The strange thing is instead of battery icon , only brightness icon can be seen in Panel. When i right click on brightness icon, i click on configure which opens Power Manager window.In display i selected show percentage and Always show all batteries. But still battery icon is not visible. And in System Settings menu there is a Power Management, inside which only two tabs are available Power and Brightness, there is no option to turn ON the battery icon. Following are the results of command i have tried.
