Description Chris Isbell 2005-11-27 11:00:27 UTC 
On my fist login after booting, KDE reports that the powersave daemon is not running. Occasionally, the system then reports a few seconds later that the battery state is critical for a few seconds before reporing the correct state (that the system is running on mains power).

Subsequent logins do not produce this message. YaST and the ps command both indicate that the powersave daemon is running.

ps -A | grep pow
 6113 ?        00:00:00 kpowersave
 6598 ?        00:00:00 powersaved

System is a Dell Precision M70 laptop.

System was running SUSE Linux Professional 9.3 before updating to opensuse 10.0.

AFAIK this is fixed?
Still we should be sure, that if powersaved is not running and kpowersave may have some problems reading battery state correctly, we should not go to critical state if something goes wrong?

Just an idea... please comment or just close it if it's already done ...
