Ubuntu – No battery icon in Ubuntu Gnome 14.04

14.04asusbatterygnomeicons

I'm using an Asus K56CB Laptop and I just upgraded from Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 to Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 (Gnome shell 3.10.4) however now I don't have a battery icon in the upper right-hand corner. Also the brightness slider is also missing. (see screen shot)

The battery and power management is present and working (I can go into power in the setting panel and it detects my battery and tells the level of charge) I don't think it's an ACPI problem.

Things i've tired from search around the forums:

Setting org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.active = true (did this via dconf-editor) It was already set to active

I've also tried to re-install gnome-power-management.

Thanks for any help !

Try to open energy manager in gnome-control-center and set all the options. In my case, behavior for critically low battery was in blank. Setting it to "close" makes power indicator to appear in both the panel and the popup-menu. Good luck!
