Power indicator doesn't show when charging

[Keiva]

This problem is intermittent, I have not found a pattern.

Sometimes, when I plug my laptop into AC, the battery icon in the top right of the screen doesn't show the charging (lightning) symbol. Sometimes it stays this way until I restart, sometimes it shows the lightning bolt when it increases a % point.

Hello,
I upgraded 3 days ago, and now the indicator does turn on, but not right
away. It takes about half an hour for it to figure out that it's plugged
in.
Thanks :)

No problem. I suggest the least confusing way for us to discuss that new problem is to open a new bug by running:

  ubuntu-bug gnome-shell
