Comment 105 for bug 629258

You don't need my gnome-power-manager package with the upower patch. All my package does is make the indicator menu show the battery percentage instead of 'unknown' when a time estimate isn't available. It can be combined with the patched upower without causing any problems, though. In fact, my PPA has the upower patch as well now, so you'll get both patches if you update from my PPA.

The advantage of having both is that for a short time after plugging in or unplugging, before there is an estimate, you'll at least see the charge percentage in the indicator menu.
