This worked fine for me (--force-overwrite because on my 10.10 upower_0.9.5-4_i386.deb is installed):
sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i upower_0.9.1-1.2_i386.deb Also, instead of reinstall your ubuntu, you tried the following? sudo apt-get install upower As a first feedback, during all day on my UNR 10.10 (Acer NAV50) it's working very well! The only issue I noticed is that when I turn on the computer it doesn't identify that I'm using the battery. I need to start it using AC and after unplug it, so it identify that i'm using my battery. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531190 Title: upower (devkit-power) reporting bad data when AC cable is unplugged -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
