Laptop model: Gaming 3 15ARH05 Output of dmidecode: 82EY ideapad-cm works for enabling/disabling conservation mode. ACPI dump: https://controlc.com/5e2e61fd

EDIT: Setting battery mode does not work. Can't update the battery mode, please retry

Thanks for opening this issue, battmngr works using ACPI calls only, while ideapad-cm uses ideapad_acpi drivers (/sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/) and can offer less features.

If you want to contribute further, it would be amazing to have a detailed list of commands/features working, not working or showing weird behaviors. In this way I can mark your laptop as partially supported and work on a full support!

Thanks! So, i just install battmngr and try every command, right? Then i just post what works and what does not work. Is that correct?

That's correct! Please include any inconsistent behavior or unexpected errors, thanks!

Sorry for the late answer: battmngr -s does not work for setting cooling modes (error: Can't update the battery mode, please retry) dmesg logs show this: [ 2987.328368] acpi_call: Cannot get handle: Error: AE_NOT_FOUND journalctl logs: Oct 12 15:54:19 blackfuture kernel: acpi_call: Cannot get handle: Error: AE_NOT_FOUND Reading cooling modes work. Setting either rapid charge/conservation mode works. EDIT: To clarify, the time appearing in the journalctl log corresponds to the time the command was issued.

I'm sorry for the late answer myself, so, that error seem to pop up when an invalid/non supported ACPI call is made. That means that your laptop is not compatible with Ideapad 5are05 calls.

At the moment I haven't researched much, but it should be possible to monitor ACPI calls made with Lenovo Vantage under Windows and replay those using battmngr in a Linux environment.

If you could provide us with a list of each supported command and their relative output, I can compile a table and update the README file so that new users will have more info.

Once again, thanks for the interest in this project and thanks for spending time supporting it!

Once again, thanks for the interest in this project and thanks for spending time supporting it! Right, i'll dualboot Windows later this week and check if i can get the acpi calls from Vantage and i'll upload them here!
