[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#544264: devicekit-power: AC unplug and replug is not detected

[Tomas Safarik]

Package: devicekit-power
Version: 009-1
Severity: important

Hello,

I have noticed, that devicekit-power does not detect that I am unplugging or
pluging again AC power cable in my notebook (iBook G4). I expect this is
why new version of gnome-power-manager is not working for me correctly.

According to some description on internet I would expect seeing:
$ devkit-power --monitor
Monitoring activity from the power daemon. Press Ctrl+C to cancel.
#Unplgging power cable here
device changed:     /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power/devices/line_power_ACAD
device changed:     /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power/devices/battery_BAT1
daemon changed:
#Plugging power cable back in
device changed:     /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power/devices/line_power_ACAD
daemon changed:
device changed:     /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power/devices/battery_BAT1

But when I do this on my notebook I get nothing:
$ devkit-power --monitor
Monitoring activity from the power daemon. Press Ctrl+C to cancel.
^C
(I unplugged AC and replugged during this command running.)

HAL is able to detect that.

I am happy to provide more information if needed.

Thank you,

Tomas
