Description feily 2006-03-28 19:12:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
g-p-m notification icon is always displayed if kernel option acpi=off present

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-power-manager-2.14.0-1

How reproducible:
always
Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2006-03-28 21:35:35 UTC 
g-p-m should still work with APM legacy computers. What icon is displayed, does
it change, and what are you expecting?
Comment 2 feily 2006-03-29 06:09:32 UTC 
The "running on AC power" icon is displayed.
It does never change.
I am expecting there is no icon displayed if acpi=off and no battery present.
Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2006-03-29 07:23:08 UTC 
Have you set the icon policy to "always" in gnome-power-preferences? If not,
please attach the output from lshal, thanks.
Comment 4 feily 2006-03-29 13:10:16 UTC 
I have not changend anything in gnome-power-preferences.

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/apm_battery'
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/apm_battery'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 5  (0x5)  (int)
  battery.present = false  (bool)
  info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list)
  info.category = 'battery'  (string)
  battery.type = 'primary'  (string)
  info.product = 'Battery Bay'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  linux.apm_type = 0  (0x0)  (int)
  linux.apm_path = '/proc/apm'  (string)

So you have a battery bay, but the battery is missing. Odd. Does changing the
icon policy in g-p-p fix things for you?
Comment 7 feily 2006-03-29 16:43:43 UTC 
Yes, changing to "Only display when battery present" makes the icon disappear.

It is a MSI W6390VMS V1.5 (102802 18:33:33) mainboard and it is a desktop system
with no battery and no battery bay.

Furthermore I need "acpi=off" otherwise anaconda hangs when asking for
mediacheck and on an installed system, there show up numerous errors and X
windows does not start. That wasn't the case in FC4.

Probably I should complain to MSI...

"Yes, changing to "Only display when battery present" makes the icon disappear."

Closing NOTABUG though perhaps in future revisions this should be the default.

 * data/gnome-power-manager.schemas.in: Set the default for
/apps/gnome-power-manager/display_icon_policy to "present" so we don't display
by default on desktops.
