Hi, thanks for your bug report. Please boot from battery, and check gnome-power-manager is running (ps aux|grep gnome-power-manager), and attach the output of "lshal" and "gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome-power-manager"
I think this is likely the same bug as bug #36129 ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- no discharging icon if booted from battery https://launchpad.net/bugs/60807 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
