A few weeks ago I tried to install "advanced-power," and "advanced-power-monitor" and got the response "unable to install." However, it showed up in the Installed Applications section with an exclamation mark. Then I tried to uninstall the programs and it wouldn't let me. Now the battery notifier randomly highlights and displays the battery information, and it is very annoying. Any advice?

Doing a bit more searching, I found this post on my topic (except that I was never able to even fully install the program): http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=24905&page=2#15
I tried following these steps, but the problem persists. Is there a way to manually delete these files? I found a advanced-power-monitor.list file in /var/lib/dpkg/info that list a bunch of files. If I delete these, is the program "uninstalled"? Is there a way to remove a program and circumventing the application manager? I also tried sudo apt-get remove, which also gave me an error:
Finally, I have even tried to restore my tablet to an old back-up I have but the program persists.
Ii want to see if anyone has any other options before I just give up and flash the thing.
Thanks.

sudo gainroot
dpkg --purge "apps" (without the quote)
That should get you uninstall the apps
xterm
sudo gainroot
apt-get install adv...monitor (put in the name of the apps, i remember you have to do monitor 1st)
apt-get install adv...power

It gave me a similar response to when I tried apt-get remove:
I think the back-up file is saved on the internal memory card. Also, maybe this problem is because I tried to install advanced-power first and not advanced-power-monitor

Lately, I've been having problems with openssh, openssh-server, and openvpn. So I decided to reinstall, but the application manager wont let me, and I can't remove it even with the terminal commands. the messages I get are very similar to what I got before with the advanced power app, but obviously I've already changed the invoke-rc.d file (I double checked to make sure the file had not reverted or anything). Also, I cannot uninstall openbox, which seems somehow tied to openssh.
some specifics:
What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Is anyone else having trouble installing the latest update for the advanced power application?
I've been using the advanced power application for a while and recently updated to the latest version v0.5.0-5 that was released on 23rd October.
Now it has broken as the advanced power application icon no longer appears in the status bar. I've tried toggling from off/on in control panel>panels>status bar but still no longer appears.
Can anyone help please?

The statusbar icon not appearing seems to be a common problem.

Also facing the same problem and get stuck trying qwerty's solution.
When i check my /usr/sbin, I have no invoke-rc.d showing.
Should I create it?
I've enabled hidden files and still don't see it.
