Description Herman Timmermans 2008-03-15 08:30:07 UTC 
sys-apps/hal 0.5.10 makes gnome-power-manager to show only the power connector and no further info (independant if you are on battery or mains ??)
re-emerging sys-apps/hal 0.5.9.1 - r3 solved the problem.
Version of gnome-power-manager 2.20.2

Reproducible: Always

Post emerge --info output and attach current kernel .config, please.

Comment 5 gruemelmonster 2008-04-10 17:37:08 UTC 
I do have a similar Problem which might be related:

since updating to hal-5.10 and removing deprecated ACPI /proc support from 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 (otherwise two batteries are shown) gnome-power-manager did not update the battery status. Thus running out of Battery did not trigger any event (with the obvious consequences).

There is a patch upstream which does help though. (See http://dkukawka.blogspot.com/2008/01/hal-sysfs-acpi-batteries-fixed.html)

Bug #212859 provides that patch for different reason but resolves that Problem too.

I hope this Bug is related otherwise I will open a new Bug.

@reporter, are you using sysfs or /proc interface in your kernel config ?

you might want to read bug #203306
Comment 7 Daniel Kenzelmann 2008-07-05 08:14:43 UTC 
Had the same thing happening, turned out to be that i was missing ACPI battery support in the kernel (although i was sure i had it selected before...):

Power Management Options -> ACPI Support -> Battery
Comment 8 Herman Timmermans 2008-07-05 09:36:29 UTC 
I've upgraded now to sys-apps/hal 0.5.11-r1 and the problem seems to have disappeared.
Comment 9 Herman Timmermans 2008-07-05 09:37:48 UTC 
I've upgraded sys-apps/hal to version 0.5.11-r1 and the problem seems to have been solved.
Comment 10 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-05 10:36:49 UTC 
that was expected. Thanks for reporting.
