Hi upower list, on my laptop (a HP Compaq 315), upower is acting strange: If both the AC and the battery are plugged in, the battery status as reported by upower flashes. Once or twice a minute, the battery status icon in the system tray (I am using KDE 4.6) flashes to "no battery available." Running "upower --monitor" for a while shows that the problem is in upower itself, not somewhere in the GUI:

This behaviour is quite annoying, because the blinking in the bottom-right corner sometimes distracts from what I actually want to concentrate on, and it circumvents KDE's mechanism to only show the battery icon if something interesting happens (like plugging a power supply in/out, or running low on battery): Since KDE thinks the battery is remove and re-added every ~30seconds, it keeps showing and hiding that icon... $ upower --version UPower client version 0.9.15 UPower daemon version 0.9.15 For some more details and the original Debian bug report, please have a look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638970. I am not subscribed to the list, so please keep me (and the Debian bug) in CC when replying.
