Hello, I know this may not be the case but I accidentally tried to uninstall
the upower package that I had running in my machine using the software
center (it told me that some packages were going to be uninstalled too) and
I hit yes, but after I did that my ubuntu can no longer boot (it stays stuck
in checking battery state), in fact my machine tried to reboot while the
packages ere uninstallig. Please do you know which packages where those so I
can installed them again and not reinstall ubuntu?...I will really
appreciate your help...Thanks
