Description of problem:

Used yum to fix stuff a messy upgrade from F15 to F16 (preupgrade failed miserably). Problems:

- No battery indicator on gnome's panel
- No suspend option from the menu (just logout or shutdown/restart).
- Lid close won't suspend.

Running pm-suspend works as expected.

Laptop is ThinkPad X60s, lshw for some reason shows it as T43P. Attached lshw output.

Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2011-11-15 13:51:29 UTC
Can you try testing with a fresh install, rather than a bodged upgrade please.

Comment 2 Ganapathi Kamath 2011-11-21 04:39:42 UTC
Preferable to have a workaround avoid reinstall if possible. 

This is what I've found. Following message is logged in 
/var/log/messages repeatedly at one-minute intervals. (open file as root)

I gather from reading https://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php?t=25714
that it needs to be figured out how to make upowerd/gnome applet forget any previously recorded configuration/value, and rediscover the current values as per current version of upowerd.

Comment 3 Ganapathi Kamath 2011-11-21 04:44:54 UTC
I have same symptoms, but I don't recall having any upgrade errors. 
Any way to check ? upgrade log file ?

Comment 4 Ganapathi Kamath 2011-11-21 06:21:34 UTC
I wonder where it is getting the number "42.282000" from ?

Comment 5 Ganapathi Kamath 2011-11-21 06:35:57 UTC
Did a reboot, only one message logged this time: 

Nov 21 01:25:30 sirius dbus-daemon[1021]: (upowerd:1476): UPower-Linux-WARNING **: energy 44.950000 bigger than full 44.949000

still no battery indicator applet

Comment 6 Ganapathi Kamath 2011-11-21 06:58:17 UTC
The battery indicator applet is visible in the gdm screen before login.
log-out to gdm to verify.

Comment 8 Ganapathi Kamath 2011-11-21 08:41:38 UTC
My resolution: 

$ restorecon -R /home/kamath

* Battery status indicator visible
* gnome-settings-daemon process running

Explanation:
As part of F15->F16 upgrade the home folder needs to be re-labelled with new selinux file contexts. Perhaps it was not done properly.

Comment 9 Darshan Prajapati 2012-06-12 11:09:41 UTC
I am facing the same issue in Fedora 17 after upgrading Fedora 16 to Fedora 17 using DVD.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 13:41:19 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 14:33:06 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
