gnome-power-preferences do not show lid close actions etc

[Andreas Schildbach]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

When I start gnome-power-preferences, it takes ages to show up. When it finally does, several options are missing (e.g. lid close action).

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach the resulting log file of:
gnome-power-bugreport.sh & > gpm.log
to the report? You might also want to take a look at the debugging instructions located at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager and submit any other logs related to your problem. Thanks in advance.

It seems gnome-power-bugreport.sh has been removed from the distribution since Jaunty.

$ gnome-power-bugreport.sh
The program 'gnome-power-bugreport.sh' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager
bash: gnome-power-bugreport.sh: command not found

[Scott Howard (showard314)]

Sorry about that! The full path is:

/usr/share/gnome-power-manager/gnome-power-bugreport &> gpm.log

Please attach the gpm.log file after running that in the terminal. Thanks.
