Comment 8 for bug 250172

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
root 3711 0.0 0.1 8424 3324 ? S 15:32 0:00 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd
marie 4038 0.0 0.5 67900 11844 ? Sl 15:32 0:00 gnome-power-manager
marie 4391 0.7 0.5 67452 12068 ? Sl 15:38 0:00 gnome-power-preferences
marie 4394 6.5 2.2 198064 44620 ? Sl 15:38 0:03 gnome-help ghelp:gnome-power-manager?preferences
marie 4443 0.0 0.0 4224 852 pts/0 S+ 15:39 0:00 grep --color=auto power
marie@marie-laptop:~$ kill 4038

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