GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 355344
Tray icon never changes. It always displays the state it started in
Last modified: 2006-11-03 10:35:23 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.
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information Richard asked for. 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.
