New subject: [trinity-users] KPowerSave doesn't indicate battery level

2 Apr 2014

...
  I have repaired HAL-related problems before by
completely purging and
 reinstalling the hal and hal-trinity packages and their configuration
 files (literally, via "sudo dpkg --purge --force-all hal-trinity
 libhal-storage1 libhal1" followed by "sudo apt-get -f install").  You
 might want to give this a try, as HAL tends to have rather severe problems
 after a dist-upgrade in my experience. I tried that but it didn't help. I also
tried purging hal package but with no result.

One thing that changed after the upgrade is that kpowersave icon in the tray is greyed out
when I 
log into Trinity, as if HAL was not accessable. Only after several seconds it becomes
normal. 
Please note that kpowersave reports HAL as enabled and complains when I shut down hal
daemon. So 
there seems to be some communication between them (just reading from HAL?). Is there any
way I 
can debug this? I recall struggling with similar problem under KDE3 and OpenSUSE. Back
then it 
was a matter of some dbus permissions.

...
  This embarrassing situation was a strong motivator for
the complete
 removal of HAL in R14. ;-) This begs the question when will R14 be released.
