Battery Meter gone in KDE

[donahue316]

I have read through all the other threads about this issue, but it seems like my issue is a little different. I am running FC3 w/ 2.6.12 kernel, and my battery meter in KDE worked fine until I updated from KDE-redhat. Now, the battery meter isn't even an option on the Add from panel > Applet menu.
Any ideas?

klaptop_check

Just press alt-f2 and enter the above, that should get it back.

I did exactly what you said, and nothing happened.

When I run klaptop_check from the console, it says

DCOPCLIENT::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket

I know that no one else has posted this, but here's something new! I logged in as root, and the battery meter came up fine! When I am logged in as a normal user, it doesn't show up. This never happened until I updated to KDE 3.4 from whatever came with FC3. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to try them - this is really buggin' me.

I'm not sure but check the permissions on the module, everyone should have the permission to read (view) /sys/module/battery.
Hope I helped.
