Comment 97 for bug 629258

I tried Andy's patched upower, but I still can't see any battery time in gpm on my acer TM382, even after waiting some ten minutes or so.
Am I doing someting wrong, or missing something? Here's what I did:

1. remove current version of upower: sudo apt-get remove upower
2. install patched upower: sudo gdebi upower_0.9.5-4eyre1_i386.deb
3. reinstall packages dependant on upower that were uninstalled in step 1.: sudo apt-get install gdm gdm-guest-session gnome-power-manager gnome-session gnome-session-bin
4. reboot

Please let me know if I have to do something else. I would be happy to have this bug fixed.
Thank you
