Comment 23 for bug 467825

I have this problem with 10.10 on an hp dv3500ea, but noticed when i tried kubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 the lack of an ac is detected from a cold boot, so the problem is probably something to do directly with the gnome power manager as the kde one also uses upower, or just something specific to gnome, hope this gets fixed soon been an issue since 9.10 when i first noticed it.
