battery indicator is not displayed in oneiric

Additional info from the duplicate, maybe it's useful here:

unity-2d-panel: [WARNING] libindicator: Unable to load icon from file '. GThemedIcon battery-full-symbolic gpm-battery-100 battery-full ' because: Failed to open file '. GThemedIcon battery-full-symbolic gpm-battery-100 battery-full ': No such file or directory

(I've tried stracing every bit of unity-2d, and haven't found what is checking for the icons, fwiw)

Steve comments indicates that one icon from gnome-icon-theme should be moved to the default set

Let's postpone the gnome-power-manager indicator icon part of this until next week, when the gpm bits will be absorbed by gnome-settings-daemon. I'll handle the missing icon in the control-center shell for now.

ubuntu-mono provides the icons for the battery charge. We need to update the names there for whichever names the new gnome-settings-daemon power plugin uses, once that lands.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-icon-theme - 3.0.0-2ubuntu4

---------------
gnome-icon-theme (3.0.0-2ubuntu4) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/not-in-humanity.txt: Add "battery-good-charging" for the power
    management in control center. (LP: #801180)

I have oneiric up-to-date (09.07 01:56AM) and I have no visible battery indicator.

$ apt-cache show gnome-icon-theme |grep Version
Version: 3.0.0-2ubuntu4

$ apt-cache show gnome-power-manager | grep Version
Version: 3.0.2-0ubuntu2

I'd guess this might all be related to libindicator6 vs libindicator3 in some way.

I have no battery indicator. All software up to date as of 16:34 on 16/07/2011.

davidmn@titan:~$ apt-cache show gnome-icon-theme | grep Version
Version: 3.0.0-2ubuntu4
davidmn@titan:~$ apt-cache show gnome-power-manager | grep Version
Version: 3.0.2-0ubuntu2
davidmn@titan:~$

Upgraded today at about 16:00 GMT - I got an indicator.

I am running a pantheon session, tho (elementaryOS).

Now I got an indicator for battery to after upgrade.

After all update/upgrade ( today 21:00 here ) I still haven't any battery indicator .

sudo apt-get install indicator-power should do it.

Whoops. I was about to say that this indicates (hah) a problem with the seed dependencies and that something needs to make sure this gets pulled in by default; but I see now that unity does recommend it, so it will be pulled in by default for clean upgrades.

I have indicator-power installed now and still have no battery indicator.

This is clearly a conspiracy to cover up the fact that oneiric consumes 10% more power at idle than natty did! :-)

indicator OK with indicator-power installed. Thanks !

Installing indicator-power worked. Got the battery indicator now. Thanks!

Not an ubuntu-mono issue after all then.

I have all packages up-to-date, still no battery indicator. I tried the above command:

tdison@aspire5253:~$ sudo apt-get install indicator-power
[sudo] password for tdison:

I have all packages up-to-date. I have a battery indicator but it does not update. It is red and not filled in as if my battery is completely discharged. This occurred when I upgraded the linux kernel to 3.0.0-7-generic using apt-get. My Dell Mini 10 v has been plugged in all day. Battery indicator was working prior to kernel upgrade. Verified good power source and AC adapter. AC adapter has an led indicating when power is on/applied.

mista@3bootmini:~$ sudo apt-get install indicator-power
[sudo] password for mista:

Reading state information... Done
indicator-power is already the newest version.

mista@3bootmini:~$

I even removed indicator-power, rebooted. Battery indicator no longer displayed. Re-installed indicator-power. Red/unfilled battery indicator returned.

Yes, last upgrade of gnome-power-manager(?) Seems to have broken the indicator.

Missing for me too! I can't install it as it complains of being dependent on libindicator3 which will not be installed as it depends on gnome-panel, which will not be installed.

Oops! I was trying to install indicator-applet instead of indicator-power. Now I've installed the correct one, I get the same as haddog in post #19 - the indicator is permanently red. I also have kernel 3.0.0

From a terminal, I just performed a sudo apt-get update and then a sudo apt-get upgrade. There were quite a few updates available. After the upgrade completed, I performed a sudo apt-get shutdown -r now from a terminal window. Once I logged back in, I now have a functioning battery indicator.

I have the following installed and am update to date with a dist-upgrade. I still do not see a power indicator icon when running Unity or Unity 2D.

gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0 0.9.12-1
gnome-power-manager 3.1.3-0ubuntu2
indicator-power 0.5-0ubuntu1
libupower-glib1 0.9.12-1
pm-utils 1.4.1-8ubuntu1
powermgmt-base 1.31
python-dateutil 1.4.1-4
upower 0.9.12-1

I am running a custom built 3.0.0-git17 kernel, because I need GMA500 staging driver to get a framebuffer for my GMA500 video card:
gma500 0000:00:02.0: irq 40 for MSI/MSI-X
gma500 0000:00:02.0: setting latency timer to 64

[drm] Initialized gma500 1.0.0 2011-06-06 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0

I don't know if these segfaults from my dmesg output are related:

unity-panel-ser[3215]: segfault at aaaaaac2 ip b6473dab sp bf8cbde0 error 4 in libdbusmenu-glib.so.4.0.0[b6465000+18000]

I also have an up to date install, and no battery indicator in unity 2D. indicator-battery is installed.

I have an up to date install, I don't even have an indicator-battery package available, though I have the gnome power manager. When running via command line, I see similar output as some of the posters above (some gibberish about not finding a file). Interestingly enough, Battery-status works just fine ( http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/battery-applet-status-ubuntu/ ), though now I'm having trouble getting indicator applet to remove the power icon.

Occasionally I also get other images going "missing", e.g. the wireless icon.

Yay unity still being full of holes. ^^

I should clarify by up to date I do not mean Oneiric, isn't that in alpha? Running Natty and it doesn't work here.

This bug report is about an issue in oneiric only. Please file a separate bug report for any problems you experience in natty.

Hi,

Although the bug is marked as "fix released" in Oneiric, I'm still experiencing this bug. I just migrated from Natty and I still can't see the battery indicator.

still an issue - no battery indicator - 11.10 alpha 1 with all updates

Also seeing this problem.
