Power manager quits expectedly

[Chris Gummin]

I log in and immediately, among other error notifications, receive an error that Power Manager has quit unexpectedly. This is running on my Google Cr-48 laptop.

I also get this on my Sony Vaio Z119GC.

This is a known issue, but crash reports, logs, and more info is required in order to fix it.

This was fixed with Cosmic. However, there is no battery indicator in Gnome 3, which seems like something they wouldn't overlook...

[JC Hulce (soaringsky)]

This isn't overlooked. On some systems, there is a bug that prevents the power manager applet from showing up. It works fine on one of my systems but doesn't on the other, even though the setup is mostly the same.

[Chris Gummin (proxy-qtz-deactivatedaccount)]

Well, How can it be fixed?

[Chris Gummin (proxy-qtz-deactivatedaccount)]

JC, can you check both systems to see if SMBus drivers are in use? I'm curious to see if that might make a difference.

[JC Hulce (soaringsky)]

Neither one has the SMBus drivers
BTW, The GNOME3 team put out a new power manager package a few days ago.

New power manager fixed this, but the Daemon is super-tiny.
