n900 battery icon grey
 

i'm not sure why, but the battery icon seems to be always greyed out now, and the corresponding button says 'start apmd' and 'apmd disconnected'.

iirc, there were a couple of updates that came in recently related to this.

anyone any ideas?

max.

did you reboot? if it persists after rebooting, uninstall and reinstall advanced-power.

Same problem here.... i had to remove all the packages concerning advanced-power, clean all the paths and reinstall:

aptitude purge advanced-power-common advanced-power-monitor advanced-power

rm -rf /opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-power-monitor

aptitude install advanced-power-common advanced-power-monitor advanced-power advanced-interface-switcher

After this, reboot....and voilà! The battery is there!
