Bug Description

Recently, after i had installed pool of some upgrades (435Mb) - battery icon was disappeared.

Laptop - Asus x50m. 2.6.24-2-generic. I upgrade my system with Adept manager. Standart Gutsy repositories are switched on. And in "Third Party Upgrades" there was Hardy repository added. So, upgrading goes both from Gutsy and Hardy repositories.

I think, some dependencies was disturbed.

In my case the battery icon is always the full battery icon and I didn't get any information of the % or the time remain of the battery.

I had Kubuntu Gutsy and upgraded to Hardy.

My laptop is Upi ( Intel core duo 2.00, Intel 945GM grafic card, RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ network card)

The dmesg output you attached is from a 2.6.20 kernel. We'll actually need to output from a Hardy 2.6.24 kernel. Also, this may sound silly but have you tried to add the battery applet back to your panel? Also, can you provide the output of:

* cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
* cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state

Leann, it may be! I don't know, how to add this applet! There was a nice icon of green battery in systray... Please, tell me, how to add it...

I also installed battery monitor plugin for the Xfce4 panel (A battery monitor panel plugin for Xfce4 compatible with APM and ACPI.) And i also don't know how to start it! (And what Xfce4 is anyway?)

Just for future reference, these these sorts of questions belong in the answers area of launchpad https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu . But for the sake resolving this. . . in the gnome panel, right click and select the "Add to Panel..." options. In the "System & Hardware" section click on the "Battery Charge Monitor" icon. This should add the battery charge monitor to your panel.

I've found the cause of this. kde-guidance-powermanager was removed during installation. I had to reinstall it. Maybe, developers should check the list of files, which remove when user upgrade his system to hardy.

Hi Kamba,

I'm going to close this report due to your last comment. Please keep in mind that pre-releases of Hardy are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs. Thanks!
