Hi,
Trying out the 14.04 Beta 2 on my laptop. Its
seems like Gnome failed to detect that the system
is a laptop. There are multiple things not working
that worked in 13.10. I'm willing to try things to
help debug.
While installing I had the laptop plugged into AC
power. After installation I notice there is no
battery icon in the "system status area" (I think
that is what Gnome is calling it these days) top
right of screen. I recall in previous Gnome
versions it would hide the icon while on AC by
default, but there was an option to force it to
always show. I can't find that option.
That is what is meant to happen
If I pull the power cord the icon shows up. Going
into the power settings it shows a battery, the
charge percentage, and if it is charging or
discharging.
So is that
Doing some Googling I was advised to check for the
"gnome-power-manager" package. And indeed it was not
installed. But installing it and then rebooting did not
make a difference.
That is handled by logind not gnome-power-manager
In the Brightness and Lock settings I can slide the slider
for screen brightness but it has no effect. I can use the
keyboard hotkeys for brightness, and the icon shows up but
again has not effect. And the brightness slider is not
shown in the "unified status menu" like I have seen in
Gnome 3.10 screenshots.
This will probably fix itself once (hoping to still sneak it through
anyway) we get gnome-settings-daemon updated
The system is an Acer Aspire 5733Z if that matters.
Thanks,
Paul
