           Summary: powerdevil does not detect whether ac power cord is
                    plugged in or not
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: christopher72 at xs4all.nl


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

When I unplug the ac adapter chord from my laptop, powerdevil does not detect
the state change to 'unplugged'. As a result, it does not change the power
profile.
However, as soon as I type "acpi -V" in a terminal, it does detect the state
change and the power pofile is changed accordingly.




Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot normally into KDE 4.7.4 with ac power chord plugged in
2. unplug the ac power chord
3. Nothing happens.
4. open a terminal and type "acpi -V"
5. Popup appears saying that the power adapter has been unplugged and power
profile is changed.

Same thing reversed:
- plug in the power chord
- nothing happens.
- type acpi -V in a terminal
- no popup appears, but powerdevil does detect the change and changes the power
profile.

Expected Results:  
detection of ac power chord plugging / unplugging and changing power profile
accordingly.

ac adapter detection works fine on the same hardware in Windows 7, which is
installed on a different partition.
