gnome-power-manager crashes when switching from AC power to battery

[rkisho]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

When the power switches from AC to battery the gnome-power-manager crashes. Also when I launch the gnome-power-manager while on AC it runs fine until a switch from AC to battery happens. But when I launch the gnome-power-manager while on battery it crashes again. After searching the net and trying to fix it with no success, I am only left with the trace I got after launching the gnome-power-manager with --verbose command, which I have attached.

Have tried this on both Jaunty and Karmic, same problem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.
If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Hi, this is the first time i have used the apport autotrace system so i hope it provides what you need.
I have a nearly identical problem with Oneric, but i experience a crash only when i pull or insert AC power to my Netbook.
