for a little while now, the option to suspend (to ram) has disappeared from Kickoff and the battery monitor thingie in the tray shows a red cross and says "AC Adapter: not plugged in". running acpi_listen in a terminal seems to report events correctly, though. I have been trying to figure this out for a few days, but I am officially out of ideas. I would very much welcome some help.
