<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br>Trying out the 14.04 Beta 2 on my laptop. Its seems like Gnome failed to detect that the system is a laptop. There are multiple things not working that worked in 13.10. I'm willing to try things to help debug.<br>
<br>While installing I had the laptop plugged into AC power. After installation I notice there is no battery icon in the "system status area" (I think that is what Gnome is calling it these days) top right of screen. I recall in previous Gnome versions it would hide the icon while on AC by default, but there was an option to force it to always show. I can't find that option.<br>
<br></div>If I pull the power cord the icon shows up. Going into the power settings it shows a battery, the charge percentage, and if it is charging or discharging.<br><br></div>Also in power settings the options for "When the lid is closed" only allow my to choose "do nothing". The suspend option is disabled. There is already an LP bug for this: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/1286430">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/1286430</a><br>
<br></div>Doing some Googling I was advised to check for the "gnome-power-manager" package. And indeed it was not installed. But installing it and then rebooting did not make a difference.<br><br></div>In the Brightness and Lock settings I can slide the slider for screen brightness but it has no effect. I can use the keyboard hotkeys for brightness, and the icon shows up but again has not effect. And the brightness slider is not shown in the "unified status menu" like I have seen in Gnome 3.10 screenshots. <br>
<br></div>The system is an Acer Aspire 5733Z if that matters.<br><br></div>Thanks,<br><br></div>Paul<br></div>
