I have got the same problem here and the suggestions above did not help. I have an Aspire One ZG5 netbook. Power manager was working fine under Jaunty(9.06). I upgraded by doing a clean install and found out the hard way the power manager was not working - battery ran out, netbook did not go to suspension, just crashed (like when you pull the plug) and lost my data on the home folder(separate partition+encrypted), so had to do another clean install. I also tried a suggestion mentioned here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne/Ubuntu9.10 It worked fine until I rebooted and then it seized working. :(
