Hi,

I added the gnome-power-bugreport.sh output and the gpm.log. For the gpm.log I entered this command: "gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon 2>&1 | tee gpm.debug.log.txt" I hope that is the correct command.
The output says the battery is present which is incorrect.

g-p-m_nobat.txt Edit (22.4 KiB, text/plain)

I can confirm this behaviour. If gnome-power-manager is started while the battery is not plugged in, then the "On Battery Power" tab never appears. However, G-P-M does seem to recognize the battery as the status icon is updated and the battery-related options now appear in the context menu. See g-p-m_nobat.txt

If, on the other hand, I start g-p-m while the battery is plugged in, the "On Battery Power" tab is permanently available. Even if I unplug the battery, the tab remains visible. See g-p-m_withbat.txt

lshal -m does not produce any output while (un)plugging the battery.

I can confirm this behaviour. If gnome-power-manager is started while the battery is not plugged in, then the "On Battery Power" tab never appears. However, G-P-M does seem to recognize the battery as the status icon is updated and the battery-related options now appear in the context menu. See g-p-m_nobat.txt

If, on the other hand, I start g-p-m while the battery is plugged in, the "On Battery Power" tab is permanently available. Even if I unplug the battery, the tab remains visible. See g-p-m_withbat.txt

lshal -m does not produce any output while (un)plugging the battery.

Just to note that I'm still seeing this bug in Karmic Koala.

I am seeing this behavior in Karmic, when booting with AC connected. Killing & restarting gnome-power-manager cures the problem.

Karmic, when booting with AC connected followed by disconnecting AC, there is no "On Battery" tab in Power Manager.

This is very annoying, because by default Karmic dims the laptop screen to a level I can only describe as barely-readable after a few seconds, and there is no way of adjusting this behaviour.

It feels like a waste of time reporting bugs, if they are not attented anyway :-(

Today I installed ubuntu 10.10 on a blinea laptop. It came pre-installed with ubuntu 9.10 which was working perfectly on it.

Now, with 10.10 power management is just a joke. I the above bug, no tab of "on-battery-power" in gnome-power-manager.

I restarted gnome-power-manager, with
marie@marie-laptop:~$ ps aux | grep power

marie@marie-laptop:~$ kill 4038

indeed, typing gnome-power-manager in terminal after that has allowed me, to access the "on-battery-power"....
