Battery indicator not showing up in system tray at startup

[Dario Bertero]

Sometimes at startup the battery indicator in the system tray does not show up. It is still possible too see the battery data launching manually gnome-power-manager.

Thank you for you bug report. Could you add your ~/.cache/upstart/indicator-power.log to the bug after getting the issue? is indicator-power-service active in those cases?

[Dario Bertero (anrvrx)]

The file indicator-power.log is missing. I attach the file of the first gz archive. indicator-power-service is running.

I see the same behaviour, and also have no ~/.cache/upstart/indicator-power.log -- the last one (.1.gz) is from before I upgraded to 15.10.

Also noticed that killing the indicator-power-service process causes it to get started again, and then the icon shows up
