This bug is partially fixed in karamic. This is, now gnome power manager does recognize the disappearance/reappearance of the battery However if you boot without battery, gnome power manager will 'think' you don't have one even if you add one. You have to login/logout to work around this.
I had long talk with kernel developers, and we discovered that patches I did mention don't work correctly. Besides there is strong opinion that current behavior is correct. To fix rest of this problem, I was told that the developer will write new interface to indicate that system has a battery 'bay' When this is done, g-p-m can use that to show battery settings instead of fact that battery is present. -- gnome-power-manager doesn't recognize battery removed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144830 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
