How to restore battery status indicator in landscape mode?

Question

On an Ubuntu 12.04 system, I rotated my beagle board screen display to landscape mode and now the battery status indicator applet is disappeared. Is there any simple applet program to display the battery status in Ubuntu or any possible way to show the battery status indicator applet?

Answer 1

Make sure that the indicator-power is installed.

sudo apt-get install indicator-power

If it's installed though then you can try re-installing it.

sudo apt-get purge indicator-power

sudo apt-get install indicator-power

UPDATE:

The whole indicator applet:Clone of the GNOME panel indicator applet

sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-complete

Unity Global Menu type applet: Clone of the GNOME panel indicator applet

sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-appmenu

Session applet: Clone of the GNOME panel indicator applet

sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-session

Win+Alt+Right click the panel if using Gnome-Classic or Alt+Right click the panel if using Gnome-Classic (No Effects)

Choose Add To Panel and add the following indicator

ALSO:

UPDATE2:

• cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent |grep POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY

• in acpi

sudo apt-get install acpi

acpi -b

produces kind of:

Battery 0: Charging, 43%, 06:09:08 until charged

• battery-status

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iaz/battery-status && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install battery-status

/usr/lib/battery-status/battery-status --indicator
