faulty_battery_bypass

This script allows you to easily toggle the upower.service on your Linux system, which can help if you're experiencing issues with battery management.

Features

  • Disables/enables the upower.service with a single command
  • Logs execution messages to console and a log file
  • Creates a temporary file to track execution state

Usage

Download the script

git clone

  1. Make the Script Executable:

chmod +x power.sh

  1. Run the Script: You can run the script with the following command:

    sudo ./power.sh

  2. Run the Script from Anywhere: To run the script from any location in the terminal, move it to a directory included in your PATH, such as /usr/local/bin:

    sudo mv power.sh /usr/local/bin

    Now you can execute the script simply by typing:

    sudo power

Execution Flow

First Execution:
    Disables upower.service by renaming it to upower.service(disabled).
    Reloads the systemd manager configuration.
    Stops the upower.service.
    Creates a temporary file to indicate execution.

Subsequent Executions:
    Enables upower.service by renaming it back to its original name.
    Reloads the systemd manager configuration.
    Starts the upower.service.
    Removes the temporary file.

Drawbacks

Please note that toggling the upower.service may cause the following issues when on battery:

  1. Network card malfunctions
  2. Sleep/suspend not working unless the lid is closed
  3. Laggy performance
  4. High quality videos stuttering

Script Details

The script checks if a temporary file exists to determine whether to disable or enable the upower.service. If the file does not exist, the script disables the service; otherwise, it enables the service.

The script logs messages to both the console and a log file, and creates a temporary file to track execution.

Privacy

This script does not collect or transmit any personal information. It only modifies the upower.service on your local system.
