After the update to upower 0.99.8-1, events such as connecting or disconnecting from the power source aren't picked up any longer. If the laptop is plugged in after the system gets turned on, it retains the power scheme settings for running on battery. I have to manually restart upower in order to get it to notice the change. I have added a SELinux policy module to deal with the permission problems that appeared with this update (e.g. rhbz#1594554, rhbz#1593496), but that hasn't help with the problem.
I'm seeing similar issues. (Adding myself to the CC list.)
Same here. I'm running Rawhide. Downgrading from upower-0.99.8-2.fc29.x86_64 to upower-0.99.7-3.fc28.x86_64.rpm helped.
Most likely: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/issues/68
Same on upower-0.99.8-2.fc29.x86_64 in F29.
A related patch was added for Fedora 29 last month (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/upower/c/6e20417f1c655343256743c8adae39e6c7f150e9), this addresses the issue for me.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
