Still remember the “hal is dead, long live DeviceKit” buzz? It’s time to finally lay our hands on it.
DeviceKit and DeviceKit-power themselves are available for a while in Jaunty’s universe, but installing them by themselves is pretty boring, of course.
Last Saturday I packaged the new gnome-power-manager 2.25.x which is now devkit-ified and doesn’t use hal any more. It is now available in the ubuntu-desktop PPA. Please try it, break it, and complain over there 
It works quite well for me, the only thing I noticed is that it currently seems to break my hibernate hotkey. Still investigating..

What about the new DeviceKit disks utility? I can’t find it in jaunty.

Will the 2.26 series be used in mainline Jaunty or the older 2.24 series?

In Jaunty we will use 2.24, no devicekit by default.

@martinpitt: thx for the package ,it works perfectly out of the box on my Thinkpad X200. Resume/hibernate works well too EXCEPT when I log out, power-manager seems not to be able to quit itself and thus need to be kill. When will 2.26 be packaged?
