Laptop battery meter[SOLVED]

I looked in the wiki for how to install the laptop battery meter, but didn't find it.
Can someone give me a link?

What desktop are you using? KDE has one built in, it can be started with kpowersave. I bet gnome would have something built in as well, though I don't know for sure. If you want to use something else there's a few options on the AUR

I'm using gnome. Ubuntu had this. Maybe I can boot in to it and see what it is.

It is gnome-power-manager.
I installed it from the regular repos.

just installed Arch    and unable to find several kde apps ,  eg. kpowersave

pacman -Ss kpowersave    returns nothing

mine is a standard install with kde, any advise is appreciated

I'd read the faq
and the wiki
then the guides
and went googling, before posting here

Re: Laptop battery meter[SOLVED]

My mistake, it's been a while since I installed this system and I thought that was part of the base KDE. Turns out kpowersave is a seperate package in AUR.
