Currently upower is a required dependency of: gnome-applets gnome-session-bin gnome-power-manager
It is also a Recommends for gnome-settings-daemon, through gnome- settings-daemon → libupower-glib3 → upower. The logic did not take into account that connecting to UPower might fail, so eventually gsd-power crashes. However, I don’t believe these crashes originate from upower being not installed. Instead, @paride found that his libimobiledevice6 package was corrupted so that upower couldn’t find the library and failed to start. That shouldn’t happen, but we should make gsd-power exit gracefully rather than crash when failing to connect to UPower. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083202 Title: /usr/libexec/gsd- power:11:up_client_get_devices2:engine_coldplug:gsd_power_manager_start:main Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding gnome-settings-daemon.
