Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.30.1-1
I recently updated an XO-1 to squeeze. The battery icon in gnome no
longer tells me what percentage of battery life is left. If I click on
the battery icon, it tells me the battery is at 0.0%. I suspect this
is related to the switch to upower, but I'm not sure what magic dbus
invocations I should be using to tell.
A bit about the machine:
Linux debxo 2.6.36-rc2+ #7 PREEMPT Mon Aug 30 01:29:58 UTC 2010 i586 GNU/Linux
olpc@debxo:~$ ls -l /sys/class/power_supply/

messaging system

If I run `dbus-monitor --system` while watching for the
'capacity' sysfs entry to change (decrease) doesn't result in anything
UPower-related coming across the system bus. d-feet does show a
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_olpc_battery.
