I have a similar problem on my Hardy install. Neither kpowersave nor guidance-power-manager report correct battery information. However, using the acpi command reports the correct state. Restarting kpowersave of guidance-power-manager doesn't change the situation. I get the following messages when starting kpowersave, which seem to indicate the problem is dbus-related: kpowersave: WARNING: Unknown error while aquire org.freedesktop.Policy.Power interface kpowersave: ERROR: Could not send dbus message: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. kpowersave: WARNING: Property: power_management.can_standby for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.serial for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.charge_level.capacity_state for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.charge_level.unit for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Couldn't request charge_level.unit for udi: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.charge_level.design for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.remaining_time for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.serial for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.charge_level.capacity_state for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.charge_level.unit for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Couldn't request charge_level.unit for udi: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.charge_level.design for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: WARNING: Property: battery.remaining_time for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_0 doesn't exist.
