gnome-power-manager applet does not work and battery does not charge

[Susan Cragin]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

For the past week or so my (almost-new) battery has not charged at all. Before that it was working fine.
I also miss the power-manager applet that used to appear. Now there is no applet and I have tried turning it on by either adding it to the panel (but it's not listed among the options) or running
gnome-power-manager in terminal
but that just says that the daemon is already running.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

This was fixed for me about a month after this bug was filed.
Thank you very much for fixing it.
