g-p-m doesn't recognize ac adapter plugging

[Kasper Meerts]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Gnome Power Manager detects correctly that I have a laptop with a battery. I also detects whether I'm charging or discharging the battery.
When I unplug the AC adapter, it even gives me a popup notification : "The AC Power has been unplugged". It says explicitly that the system is running on battery power.
Still, when I hover my mouse over the icon of a battery, it says: "Computer is running on AC power".
acpi -V gives the status of the adapter correcter, as does HAL.

The problem is not so much the tooltip but that the suspend behavior doesn't come through. When I close the lid of my laptop, the screen blanks, instead of suspending as it should do.

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.Thanks in advance.

Right. All attachments are made in the following way.
I started logging.
After 3 seconds I unplugged my AC adapter.
5 seconds later I plugged it back in.

There is no D-Bus report because
dbus-monitor --session "type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.PowerManagement'"
didn't report anything!!!

No response....

It can be closed. GPM now works correctly in Intrepid Ibex.

I'm happy it's fixed and so glad because of the helpful reactions here (!)
