seems like an upower issue, Martin do you know if anything changed in that stack recently?
the log has for example " keyboard present: yes rechargeable: yes state: discharging percentage: 0%" the indicator is only reflecting that ** Changed in: upower (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Martin Pitt (pitti) ** Changed in: indicator-power Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: indicator-power (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: indicator-power (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: indicator-power Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to upower in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1103064 Title: power indicator shows that keyboard & mouse are missing when they are not Status in The Power Indicator: Invalid Status in “indicator-power” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “upower” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I updated by raring installation and found that the power indicator now shows my wireless keyboard and mouse as (missing) and with extremely low power. Both the keyboard and mouse work (I'm using them to type this bug) and the low battery light on the respective devices do not show low power. Even switching to brand new batteries don't make the indicator change state. I've attached a screenshot of the indicator and a screen shot of the power setting dialog which seems to be in conflict with the indicator. I've reproduced this behavior with the 3.8.0-0-generic & vmlinuz-3.8.0-1-generic kernels.
