Message-ID<LRfLP-d4lp-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
Package: upower
Version: 1.90.10-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I run recent versions of Debian, this is written to the 
Journal every 30s, as long as the system is up:

Nov 14 20:58:24 debian upowerd[1897]: value "-nan" of type 'gdouble' is invalid or out of range for property 'percentage' of type 'gdouble'
Nov 14 20:58:54 debian upowerd[1897]: value "-nan" of type 'gdouble' is invalid or out of range for property 'percentage' of type 'gdouble'
Nov 14 20:59:24 debian upowerd[1897]: value "-nan" of type 'gdouble' is invalid or out of range for property 'percentage' of type 'gdouble'

I suspect upower can't detect presence of battery.  This system
 ASUS X541NA doesn't have one.
I use this hardware for live system trials, and most wrongly show
"battery present" but some do get it right, eg, the
mate "Battery Charge Monitor" applet tooltip correctly shows:
System is running on AC power
No battery present

I'm used to systems that would log "message repeated 10000 times"
rather than actually logging the identical message every 30 seconds.

(The keyboard report is also incorrect. The unified receiver knows about a K360,

a K400 is in use.)
(This dump is from a debian 13.2 live, which has the same problems)
