Ok - I changed the subject of the bug to reflect the true reason; this should get the required attention. I still believe its some bug in your system; this is too major a bug to go unnoticed.
** Summary changed: - beagle dbus integration broken for battery detection + dbus does not start automatically in Hardy ** Description changed: + (read below: the original problem is caused by dbus not running) + Binary package hint: beagle It appears that something is inconsistent with dbus and beagle. Beagle is using dbus to detect the battery status but it cannot. I get the following log messages when starting beagle. I am using Hardy Beta with packages updated to the latest as of 26 March 2008, morning, CST6CDT.
