MGA 2 on Toshiba NB305. . KDE power management has changed considerably from KDE 4.5.x days.

1. Power profiles no longer available. Just one profile that has to be adjusted from the " act like on ____" dialog.
2. Also, battery low and battery critical at % settings are greyed out so can;t activate any actions on low battery.
3. Also there is notification that power management is running with bare functionalities

I know this stuff is available on this netbook as I had PCLOS 2010.x on this netbook and all above was functional.

What has happened to KDE power management and how can I get it back?

Have you installed on battery or on AC power?
Normally you should have 3 profiles, on AC power, on battery and on low battery. MAybe you need to insert the battery,
and set to defaults, that's usually the way to re-initialize them.

Can you please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep upower

Does that also happen with a newly created user, and how did you install KDE? Does installing task-kde4 want to install many packages?
