FWIW, I suspect I have some problem with devkit/upower configuration. After upgrading to 10.04, I still see the issue. Running upower -d, I see this warning multiple times: (upower:11203): libupower-glib-WARNING **: No 'DaemonVersion' property It can detect the presence or absence of a battery (when I remove/add it back), but still sets several flags to no: can-suspend: no can-hibernate no on-battery: no on-low-battery: no lid-is-closed: no lid-is-present: no This behavior occurs whether the laptop is plugged in or not. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 490295 no battery information under gnome-power-manager -- gnome-power-manager does not see my battery in 9.10 Karmic Koala https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497518 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
