Package: mate-power-manager Version: 1.16.0-1 I recently updated my laptop, and since then, mate-power-manager does not seem to work any more if I run it in my session. See transcript below.
If I run it in `su -' it works (at least to set the brightness), although I think it was the actual mate-power-manager process that put an icon in my tray, and now that doesn't appear any more (I presume because it has no access to my X session any more). In this configuration (running it in `su -'), I do get notifications I'm running: sysvinit as pid 1 systemd-shim systemd-udevd systemd-logind vtwm as my window manager trayer to hold my tray icons etc. I'm afraid I don't really know how all this stuff is supposed to work. I suspect I may be filing this bug against the wrong package. xfce4-power-manager (which I also tried) seems to have similar trouble. Hints as to where to look (or reassignment of this bug) would be very welcome.
