After upgrading to 18.04, the battery tray icon from mate-power-manager simply disappeared



As everyone can imagine, a tray icon showing the battery load level is extremely important on laptops



How can i log this issue and share information here? What else should i also try, and which alternate lightweight tools should i try that also shows a battery tray icon?



(i’m mostly using AwesomeWM, and replaced most of the Gnome3 tools with their Mate equivalents, so i would struggle a lot to use gnome-power-manager, specially if it will force me to have those whole Gnome3-related packages installed as dependency)



Thanks in advance!

  • You should report bug to bugs.launchpad.net with apport-bug mate-power-manager, not here. On my Asustek laptop icon is in place.

  • Also it seems that mate-power-manager should not launch as you tried. It started automatically (see Power Manager is already running in this session in your question). On both 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS I have battery icon in tray and the same message if I start MATE Power Manager from terminal. So there is no problem here. User-oriented GUIs have other names - mate-power-statistics and mate-power-preferences. If you need traditional desktop experience you can install MATE DE with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop.

  • the problem is that, not only i have no idea where from mate-power-manager got “already” running (from startupitems.sh script, that runs always when AwesomeWM starts ), as i have no idea why the icon tray is not being displayed - xomf.com/csdnh - and you know where from can we find documentation explaining how apport-bug mate-power-manager at bugs.launchpad.net works? thanks!
