Comment 13 for bug 220324

I am having a similar problem. My battery will report for a while and suddenly it says my battery is disconnected. It is still connected though. Sometimes if I shutdown and restart guidance-power-manager it shows up again and sometimes it doesn't run again and running it from the terminal crashes with:
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused
