In the past I was annoyed by the system notification about “mouse battery low” to the point that I just changed a still-good battery to get over it.
This time I decided to tackle it once and for all.
I found this post https://wrgms.com/disable-mouse-battery-low-spam-notification/. All the credit go to the author
Please go there for more detail, this is just my self note.
# Download and patch upowerd
#
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower
cd upower/src
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/guiambros/f2bf07f1cc085f8f0b0a9e04c0a767b4/raw/ef90dfcfa2489bab577bd984a6082abacdf8b0b1/up-device.patch
patch < up-device.patch
cd ..
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
Ater the make command, you will have these two new file
# cd src/.libs
upowerd
and
# cd tools/.libs
upower
Next we will back up the originals and replace them with these instead.
You need to know the path to upower
upowerd path
/usr/lib/upower
upower path
/usr/bin
# Install upowerd
# From the original folder
PATH_UPOWERD=”/usr/lib/upower”
cd src/.libs
strip upowerd
sudo chown root.root upowerd
sudo cp upowerd ${PATH_UPOWERD}/upowerd-silent
cd ${PATH_UPOWERD}
sudo mv upowerd upowerd-original
sudo ln -s upowerd-silent upowerd
PATH_UPOWERD=”/usr/lib/upower”
cd tools/.libs
strip upower
sudo chown root.root upower
sudo mv upower ${PATH_UPOWER}/upower-silent
cd ${PATH_UPOWER}
sudo cp upower upower-original
sudo ln -s upower-silent upower
# Restart upowerd
#
sudo systemctl restart upower
