Hello, There is a patch that came into Debian Unstable fixing the HAL dependency (using upower instead). http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580429 >From my own experience I can say it's doing pretty well.
Is there any other reason to call battstat-applet "obsolete and buggy software"? Because I definitely support what Ricky wrote here: g-p-m is just too different thing from battstat to be its replacement. Moreover - battstat applet is the only straightforward (in look'n'feel) replacement of "Battery Maximizer" gauge for Thinkpad laptops users switching from Windows to Linux. Any chance for the patch to come to Ubuntu and get battstat-applet reenabled? ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #580429 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580429 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-applets in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462267 Title: battstat applet is missing Status in “gnome-applets” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-applets With the upgrade to gnome-{panel,applets}-2.28, the battstat simply applet disappeared. There is no way to actually get the information of the remaining battery time prominently back in a place in a panel I'd like. Just the percentage information from g-p-m in the notification area is not enough. It a) doesn't show the remaining time and b) doesn't allow me to show it where *I* want this information to be shown on the panel. So clearly, only the applet fulfils this usecase. I expected the applet not to disappear in first place. Then I expected to be able to place that applet back on the panel again.
