I tried this in a 19.04 live boot from a usb stick and the behavior was correct: if the system was booted without power, the charging symbol was not there. Then when I connected the power, the charging symbol appeared.
Also, when booting 19.04 without power connected, there is only the one dbus-daemon line in journalctl: Sep 26 18:55:04 ubuntu dbus-daemon[1097]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.UPower' unit='upower.service' requested by ':1.38' (uid=999 pid=1761 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell " label="u nconfined") So there is some regression between 19.04 and current 19.10. 19.04 kernel: 5.0.0.-13.14 19.10 kernel: 5.3.0-10.11 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845532 Title: power icon does not indicate charging if booted without power connected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/+bug/1845532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
