Hi. When I run my test kernel, I notice that gnome-power-manager doesn't display its applet icon in my gnome panel. I am wondering if I am: 1) using the wrong compile options, which is causing HAL to not be happy or 2) something is busted in the kernel or 3) there is a HAL version issue (ubuntu's HAL support isn't current)
I ran g-p-m in debug mode and got the following: $ gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose --debug power [gpm_debug_init] gpm-debug.c:217 (12:32:57): Verbose debugging enabled [main] gpm-main.c:205 (12:32:57): GNOME Power Manager 2.18.2 [gpm_proxy_connect] gpm-proxy.c:101 (12:32:57): emitting proxy-status TRUE: org.freedesktop.Hal [gpm_proxy_connect] gpm-proxy.c:101 (12:32:57): emitting proxy-status TRUE: org.freedesktop.Hal [gpm_ac_adapter_init] gpm-ac-adapter.c:234 (12:32:57): No devices of capability ac_adapter [gpm_control_init] gpm-control.c:863 (12:32:57): Using a supressed policy timeout of 5 seconds [gpm_refcount_add] gpm-refcount.c:101 (12:32:57): refcount now: 1 [gpm_refcount_add] gpm-refcount.c:102 (12:32:57): non zero, so sending REFCOUNT_ADDED [gpm_power_refcount_added] gpm-power.c:138 (12:32:57): Data is now not trusted [gpm_hash_new_kind_cache] gpm-power.c:1727 (12:32:57): creating cache [gpm_hash_new_device_cache] gpm-power.c:1761 (12:32:57): creating cache [gpm_warning_init] gpm-warning.c:260 (12:32:57): Using per-time notification policy [gpm_proxy_connect] gpm-proxy.c:101 (12:32:57): emitting proxy-status TRUE: org.freedesktop.Hal [gpm_cpufreq_set_governor] gpm-cpufreq.c:191 (12:32:57): Doing SetCPUFreqGovernor (ondemand) [gpm_cpufreq_set_consider_nice] gpm-cpufreq.c:506 (12:32:57): Doing SetCPUFreqConsiderNice (0) [gpm_cpufreq_set_performance] gpm-cpufreq.c:126 (12:32:57): Doing SetCPUFreqPerformance (85) [gpm_proxy_connect] gpm-proxy.c:101 (12:32:57): emitting proxy-status TRUE: org.gnome.ScreenSaver [gpm_srv_backlight_sync_policy] gpm-srv-backlight.c:151 (12:32:57): choosing sensible default [gpm_hal_is_laptop] gpm-hal.c:1130 (12:32:57): This machine is not identified as a laptop.system.formfactor is unknown.
