Hi, thanks for the report. It seems like app cannot get response from Dell's CCTK. A few things to check:

• I assume you have, but just to make sure: have you installed all of the dependencies? Upon start of the app, bottom left corner would have yellow warning indicator that CCTK is missing, and for ubuntu it can be installed automatically
• Can you run Dell's CCTK manually? If installed via integrated installer, path would be sudo /opt/dell/dcc/cctk, and it shall be run as root/sudo. Sample output:

$ sudo /opt/dell/dcc/cctk --version

Dell Command Configure Version 4.10.0  5 (Linux - Dec 16 2022, 13:02:46)

• Could you please run app via terminal, and attach the log file? via dell-powermanager > log.txt. Fyi log will contain all battery info as seen on the first page, including battery's serial number, in case you would like to redact it

Seems problem is that your machine does not support ThermalManagement:

$ sudo /opt/dell/dcc/cctk --ThermalManagement --PrimaryBattChargeCfg

The option 'ThermalManagement' is not available or cannot be configured
through this tool.

App should've detect this, and show appropriate message, but it was not implemented yet.
On bright side your machine may still support PrimaryBattChargeCfg, but due to combined command it does not show it, ill have to re-implement that.

Could you please provide a complete output of these commands:
sudo /opt/dell/dcc/cctk -H
sudo /opt/dell/dcc/cctk -H --ThermalManagement
sudo /opt/dell/dcc/cctk -H --PrimaryBattChargeCfg

This should help me understand output format from unsupported device, and adjust app's logic accordingly
