I am having the same problem on my notebook, and it seems to be kernel version related. In particular with linux-image 2.6.31-3 it works, but with all kernels since then, up to the current linux-image 2.6.31-6 devkit-power does not work.
What can I do to log/debug the problem ? Here are my versions (up-to-date Karmic): linux-image: 2.6.31-6.25 devicekit-power: 010-0ubuntu1 Running devkit-power-d produces the following output: devkit-power -d (devkit-power:5253): devkit-power-gobject-WARNING **: Couldn't enumerate devices: Did not receive a reply.
