In 12.10 I have found the problem persists after removing indicator- power and gnome-power-manager.
To work around the problem I have edited the session start-up file /etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-power-manager.desktop: replacing 'Exec=xfce4-power-manager' with 'Exec=xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon' This allows the battery icon to be displayed and the Power Manager System settings are also available. The error message noted in #8 is sent to .xsession-errors. My system also exhibits the https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048805 . Could there be a link between the --no-daemon and --disable-server options? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973778 Title: Unable to connect to Xfce Power Manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/973778/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
