Here is dmesg log if it helps > http://pastebin.com/JWzyccuQ
Also possibly related to the issue: After installing xfce4-power-manager the power button is broken.
With xfce4-power-manager installed I should be prompted "what do do, power button pressed"
There is no activity when pressing the power button. Prior to installing xfce-power-man, the system
would halt when pressing the power button.
Plugging in power adapter does not have any impact on status tray icon when using xfce-power-manager.
When using gnome-power-manager
The only system activity I can tell happening when pluging/unplugging A/C adapter is power-save state changes according to pm-powersave.log
When using xfce4-power-manager pm-powersave.log is not update by power adapter plug/unplug. I'm assuming this is normal because
xfce4-power-manager does not have a default profile for "while on batt" vs. "while on A/C"
I'm not sure what else to provide.
Thanks in advance for taking the time.
Eric
