Well, this is a bug in gnome-power-manager. The /proc battery remains registered in hal all the time, but changes status from present to not present. it makes sense, since /proc file _is_ present anyway. gpm detects, when it becomes not present, and changes icon accordantly.
But, the /sys battery actually disappears altogether, together with /sys file, but gpm doesn't handle this action , and thus doesn't update the battery icon. -- gnome-power-manager doesn't recognize battery removed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144830 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
