\"\"<\/p>\n

Running Ubuntu laptop without power supply? It’s wise to keep an eye on the battery percentage. And, here’s how to make Ubuntu 22.04 display the info in top-right corner just besides the battery icon.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Single command toggle display battery percentage<\/h3>\n

For those OK with Linux commands, just press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b> on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, paste the command below:<\/p>\n

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface show-battery-percentage true<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
You’ll see the change immediately after hitting Enter to run the command.<\/p>\n
And, to hide the percentage again, use command:<\/p>\n
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface show-battery-percentage<\/pre>\n
Method 2: Use Gnome Control Center -> Power settings<\/h3>\n
In Ubuntu 22.04, the GNOME Tweaks tool no longer provide the option to toggle display battery percentage. Because, GNOME has merged this option into system settings (aka gnome-control-center).<\/p>\n
1.) Firstly, open ‘Settings’ either from the dash or top-right system tray menu.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
2.) When it opens, navigate to Power<\/b> panel in the left. And, finally use the on\/off switch in bottom right to toggle display battery percentage:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
That’s it. Enjoy!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
