I'm running the latest version of GNOME - 2.18. Recently I've been having some issues with gnome-power-manager. More specifically - it doesn't work at all... When I try to start it I get no error message, no log entry in /var/log/messages, no nothing. It used to work fine. I'm not certain whether the problem is related to the recent apci modularization, but I doubt that this is the cause of the problem because I have added all the relevant modules to /etc/rc.conf. Without the power manager my monitor never goes to sleep, only the screensaver activates, and that is quite annoying... So does anyone have any ideas?

Your not the only one,
It seems to be erratic. I don't know if it's a hal issue, a gpm issue or a dbus issue. Try running it from the console as:
gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verboseLook at the log for any errors/warnings. The icon problem seems to have disappeared since the last upgrade.

I ran it that way and for me it turned out that the problem was that hal was not running. I didn't know that gpm depended on hal at all and I don't understand how it worked before without hal, but it seems to be ok now. Thank you very much.
