gnome-power-manager not saving UPS settings

[Thomas Wolfe]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

I have an APC ES series (be550r model) UPS.

I plugged it in and it just worked with Hardy (good work by the way... very nice and impressive).

However, going to system->preferences->power management and then going to the "on UPS power" tab I put a checkmark in "enable UPS discharge alarm" and set the display to go to sleep after 1 minute.

When I close out of the preferences and open them again, they were not saved (unchecks the "enable UPS discharge alarm" and sets the display to sleep after 23 minutes).

my screensaver preferences is set so it regards the computer as idle after 1 minute.

Any other information I can provide... just let me know.

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 to the Debugging instructions located at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager for submit any other logs related to your problem.

Thank you.

I can confirm this. This bug is reproduced every time I try to change the UPS settings in gnome power manager.

[James Smith (gtr225-deactivatedaccount)]

I can confirm this as well.

I can confirm this as well.
In my case the power history is always empty, although the computer was running from the battery.

[James Smith (gtr225-deactivatedaccount)]

Yes I have also run my UPS off the battery and still have no power history or chart information. This is even after I have upgraded to Intrepid.

I have the same problem with my APC UPS. The settings are not saved and power history is empty.

Same problem here, I can't save the UPS power settings on a newly installed Jaunty.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Karmic Koala. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Sorry about the delay, I hadn't upgraded to Karmic yet. I'm pleased to report that the issue is not present on 9.10, at least for me.
