Cannot see detailed battery information
Last modified: 2011-06-27 12:47:03 EDT
Description of problem: Cannot access a detailed information window about the laptop battery. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on the gnome-power-manager icon in the system tray 2. Click on 'Laptop battery' 3. Actual results: Nothing comes up Expected results: A window comes up that shows detailed information about the laptop battery Additional info: This worked previously in Fedora 12.
I have a similar issue after upgrading from F11. Clicking 'Laptop battery' does nothing, but i don't even get the menuitems for Suspending/Hibernating. I don't know if that's a separate issue.
Confirming this behaviour on [Ankur@localhost ~]$ rpm -q gnome-power-manager gnome-power-manager-2.30.1-1.fc13.x86_64 Right click on applet > laptop battery gives nothing.

It is necessary to install the gnome-power-manager-extra package to get information about the laptop battery.
why is this not installed by default? a simpler view of this info used to be provided by it seems to have gone away.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
