You have been subscribed to a public bug: I have a ups battery for my desktop pc. The device is connected to a usb port. In Windows Vista the ups gets recognized automatically and a battery icon is displayed in the notification area. In Ubuntu there is not a sign that the computer is protected by a ups and so I can not set any power setting in case the power goes out and the battery is running out of juice.
The manufacturer does provide a Linux application but I don't see the need to install a 3th party application. Why can I not use the same tools as if I was working with a laptop? The only thing I need to set is to shut down the system when the battery is at a critical percentage. This should all be possible to do in the Gnome Power manager but it only displays the 'AC power' tab.
