Description Fionn Behrens 2006-09-10 21:36:18 UTC
I recently installed Dapper and then some upgrades. Now g-p-m always displays exactly the state the notebook was in when g-p-m started and nothing else.

This applies for the icon as well as the tooltip.
No low power warnings are issued and no actions are taken.

I tried "lshal -m" and it looks like that displays all events as expected, although I am not an expert about what would be expected:

root@rtfm[~] lshal -m

Start monitoring devicelist:
-------------------------------------------------
acpi_AC property ac_adapter.present = false
acpi_BAT0 property battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = true
acpi_AC property ac_adapter.present = true
acpi_BAT0 property battery.charge_level.percentage = 96 (0x60)
acpi_BAT0 property battery.charge_level.current = 45830 (0xb306)
acpi_BAT0 property battery.voltage.current = 12366 (0x304e)
acpi_BAT0 property battery.reporting.current = 45830 (0xb306)
acpi_BAT0 property battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false
acpi_BAT0 property battery.voltage.current = 12371 (0x3053)

Here is some supplemental version info. I'd appreciate any hint about what to do.

dbus                                   0.60-6ubuntu8
hal                                    0.5.7-1ubuntu18
gnome-power-manager                    2.14.3-0ubuntu11

Notebook model is an IBM Thinkpad T42p with about every possible ACPI feature configured and working (S3, all buttons, drive bay hotswap)

Hmm. It all looks okay to me...

Can you do:

killall gnome-power-manager
gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose

and attach the output please. Make sure you insert/remove the ac adapter a couple of times to generate some data.

Thanks.

I apologize for having totally forgotten about this. In the meantime I upgraded to ubuntu edgy and the problem disappeared with the upgrade. So, from my POV the issue is sort of solved.
