[08:28] <Towser> Is there any way to display battery percentage in the task bar near the battery icon
[08:28] <Towser> ?
[08:30] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> You can right click upon the battery indicator and click configure, there you will get few available options under the icon option (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <Towser> Is there any way to display battery percentage in the task bar near the battery icon)
[08:31] <Towser> There isn't a battery percentage option there
[08:34] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> There should be whats your lxqt version in mine its available (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <Towser> There isn't a battery percentage option there)
[08:36] <Towser> how would I check that?
[08:37] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> In the menu, check the about lxqt tab
[08:38] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> By menu i meant main menu or application menu
[08:42] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> This is what you get on right click, now in the icon option there are options with percentage : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/26eb89c1/2023_03_26_14_11.png
[08:44] <Towser27> Mine doesn't have a drop-down for different icons, only the option to use icons from theme or not
[08:45] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> You checked version ??
[08:46] <Towser27> last version 0.17.0
[08:46] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/e239a289/2023_03_26_14_16.png
[08:46] <Towser27> Lxqt*
[08:47] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> well i recommend you to add the lubuntu team backports ppa and switch to lxqt 1.20 and check.. (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <Towser27> last version 0.17.0)
[08:48] <Towser27> How do I do that?
[08:48] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> Check this guide : https://lubuntu.me/jammy-backports-22-04-1-lxqt-1-2/
[08:50] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> If not clear, do the following :-
[08:50] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> 1) sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
[08:50] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> 2) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-dev/backports
[08:51] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> 3) sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
[08:51] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> 4) Reboot
[09:00] <Towser27> Still no drop-down 
[09:00] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> put the screenshot
[09:00] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> this shouldnt happen
[09:00] <Towser27> Oh it's still using the old version after updatinh
[09:00] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> reboot
[09:01] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> you didnt get any errors during upgrade right ??
[09:02] <Towser27> I did. .... Ahh during update it kept back some lxpt packages, that's probably why
[09:03] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> yes can i get the screenshot of them
[09:03] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> it happens, you will have to upgrade now by typing 1) sudo apt install (all the packages held)
[09:04] <lubot> [telegram] <BlackKnight987> 2) reboot
[09:22] <Towser27> Now I have the drop-down menu to select an icon with the battery percentage thank you
