TDEPowersave always reports running on AC power, even when running on the battery, and doesn't give the low battery warnings. This started when I upgraded to R14; it worked fine in 13.2. It's a big problem because, when runing on battery, the machine just dies with no warning when the battery is dead.
This is on an HP laptop running Debian 7 (Wheezy) and R14 from Slavek's repo, updated this morning.

Does TDE detect your battery (see TDE Control Center-->Peripherals-->Hardware Device Manager)? Let me know if you see a battery device; if you do please double-click on it and send a screenshot of the popup dialog along with your response.
Thanks!

It sees 2 batteries; the first is apparently the AC adapter.

Well that explains the glitch; TDE isn't aware of your AC adapter because it miscategorized it as a battery! Without being aware of your AC adapter TDE doesn't know whether your computer is plugged in or not and assumes it is as a result.
Let me see if I can spot anything obviously wrong from the screenshots. I may have to have you run some udev analysis commands later on today or tomorrow.
Thanks!

This should be fixed in GIT hash 066f317 (tdelibs); once the nightly builds contain this fix please test and confirm.
Thanks!

FWIW, TDEPowersave shows both AC and batteries with no problems. I'm running an install from exegnu-jessv-20141125 on a recent ThinkPad. TDEPowersave autostarts and its icon is in the taskbar. Robert
