I have the issue where "cat"ing the proc entry for battery state does not help.
Fresh install of Lucid on Macbook Pro 5,1. Immediately after install, I saw the battery indicator, and in Power Management options, there was a "On Battery" tab. After a reboot, there was no indicator, and no "On Battery" tab. However, the display still dimmed when I unplugged the power, and brightened when I plugged it back in. I wanted to try laptop-mode instead of the default power-management package (can't remember exactly what it's called, but it gets removed when you install laptop-mode). I installed laptop-mode, rebooted, and both the battery indicator in the notification area, and the "On Battery" tab had reappeared. After another reboot, they were gone again. Is there any information I can provide to help resolve this? -- [lucid] battery status not detected/shown until /proc entry viewed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
