As a workaround, you can get the "On Battery" tab if you make it detect your battery and then restart gnome power manager.
To make it detect your battery when you have booted using battery power, you need to connect the laptop to AC power. If you have booted from AC power, I guess unplugging the AC cable, waiting some time and restoring AC power should make it detect it. After that, you can run these 2 commands on a console to restart gnome-powe-manager: killall gnome-power-manager gnome-power-manager Hope this issue can be fixed for Karmic final -- gnome-power-manager settings have no "on battery" tab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
