Hi, i would suggest that you make sure your system is up to date, so we can be on the same page. # yum check-update # yum update Next: # yum list *upower* Installed Packages upower.i686 0.9.5-1.fc13 @updates ... # yum reinstall upower ... Now log out and back your KDE so services are restarted. Some testing: # ps aux |grep -i power Regardless of its presence above, try (it may start upowerd on demand): - pull power cord (give it 10 secs time) - plug in again Any changes in battery/power icon or popup msgs ? See again: # ps aux |grep -i power At this point we have to do some more research: - look into package files for anything related (config, rules, your machine) # rpm -ql upower # less /lib/udev/rules.d/95-upower* # ... - are you checking your system status mail (logwatch configured) ? Root mail or user mail if root forwarded to. - /var/log/* # messages, pm-*, ... There could be errors, status hints reported. - Google search (this is a package that was formerly DeviceKit-power, got rewritten, and causes upowerd problems in various contexts in some distros). - search Bugzilla for reported problems/solutions/hints - contact developer(s) - become religious :-) JB -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
