The output of '$ gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome-power-manager' looks wrong. The value of $display_icon_policy is "charge" when it surely should read something like "charge_discharge". Sure enough if I plug the mains in the icon pops up while the battery is charging. By switching the selection in 'System > Preferences > Power Management' I can get: "Never display icon" = display_icon_policy = never "Only display when battery life is critical" = display_icon_policy = critical Default: "Only display when charging or discharging" = display_icon_policy = charge "Only disply when battery is present" = display_icon_policy = present "Always display icon" = display_icon_policy = always ... but here's the output as it's set by the installer: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome-power-manager display_icon_policy = charge ignore_inhibit_requests = false show_actions_in_menu = true can_hibernate = true battery_time_very_low = 600 ac_sleep_computer = 0 policy_suppression_timeout = 5 laptop_panel_dim_brightness = 30 ac_brightness = 100 action_button_power = interactive battery_percentage_action = 1 notify_ac_adapter = true battery_time_action = 120 action_button_suspend = nothing dim_on_idle = true battery_percentage_very_low = 5 graph_data_max_time = 21600 battery_time_critical = 300 action_button_hibernate = hibernate action_battery_critical = shutdown use_time_for_policy = true use_lowpower_battery = true battery_brightness = 70 battery_percentage_low = 10 battery_percentage_critical = 2 ac_sleep_display = 1800 check_type_cpu = false ac_dpms_sleep_method = default battery_event_when_closed = false notify_hal_error = true battery_time_low = 1200 action_battery_button_lid = blank enable_pcskr_beeping = true battery_sleep_computer = 0 lock_use_screensaver_settings = false battery_sleep_display = 300 use_lowpower_ups = true rate_exponential_average_factor = 80 lock_on_blank_screen = true notify_fully_charged = true action_sleep_type = nothing can_suspend = true action_ups_critical = shutdown battery_dpms_sleep_method = default action_ac_button_lid = blank check_type_net = true use_lowpower_ac = false lock_on_suspend = true lock_on_hibernate = true [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ** Attachment added: "lshal output" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4359522/lshal-output.txt -- 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
