[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#624483: upower: --monitor* fails to report anything on my iBook G4 (ppc)

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: upower
Version: 0.9.9-4
Severity: important

Hi,

xfce's power management now relies on upower to get updates on the
am-I-plugged status and the like, but apparently upower fails to
report such changes.

I tried running upower with --monitor or --monitor-detail, with root
privileges to make sure, but all I got was:
| Monitoring activity from the power daemon. Press Ctrl+C to cancel.

Plugging/unplugging the power cord doesn't appear to be noticed at
all.

Please let me know how I can help debug that.

Mraw,
KiBi.
