No. It should recognize the battery on startup. Please run the power manager from a konsole shell.
1. Exit guidance-power-manager (right click on the icon and select quit). 2. Open a konsolse shell. 3. Type guidance-power-manager If that produced any output, attach that to the bug. For your initial startup errors, look in your user's .xsession-errors for anything that appears power-manager, hal, or dbus related. -- guidance doesn't find any battery if battery is not present on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
