ubiquity causes battery monitor plasmoid to think new batteries have been added

As I do not have adequate hardware to test this with myself, can you apply the following patch to /bin/update-dev and let me know if it fixes the issue for you?

Thanks!

Patch failed to apply. What version were you patching against? I
installed the latest ubiquity from apt.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. You need to apply it against /bin/update-dev in the live environment before running ubiquity.

Right, I tried to do exactly that and the patch was rejected. When I
boot into the live environment, I only update the ubiquity package;
are there other packages I should update before trying to run the
patch?

Oh, of course. Sorry, I completely forgot that the ubiquity build scripts modify that file.

Just edit /bin/update-dev and tack the following on any calls to udevadm trigger:
--subsystem-nomatch=power_supply

That does indeed fix it. Thanks.

The bug still exists in current Jaunty beta

I have tested current Jaunty better and sometime during install a second battery applet appears in panel

"Fix Committed" means that the change has been applied to a revision control system, but not yet uploaded so that you can see it. Don't undo such a status just because you can't see the fix yet; you shouldn't expect to until it's "Fix Released".

(That said, this mostly shouldn't be required any more now that we try to avoid udevadm trigger in ubiquity; if it is still required in jaunty final, it would be nice to track such cases down.)

This bug was fixed in the package debian-installer-utils - 1.67ubuntu1

---------------
debian-installer-utils (1.67ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - user-params: Don't propagate vga=* or break=* to installed system.
    - Use /proc/self/fd/4 rather than /dev/fd/4 in fetch-url-methods/http;
      the latter doesn't seem to exist in d-i.
    - list-devices: new "usb-partition" type for detecting partitions on USB
      drives.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Don't include the battery subsystem on calls to udevadm trigger
    (LP: #331883).

  [ Loic Minier ]
  * Add support for listing MMC partitions in list-devices; note that many MMC
    devices in e.g. netbooks or screens are actually connected over USB
    though; LP: #364604.

debian-installer-utils (1.67) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Remove myself as uploader.
  * Append .conf extention to /etc/modprobe.d files, as required for
    module-init-tools >= 3.7.

  [ Updated translations ]
  * Italian (it.po) by Milo Casagrande
