Ubuntu – No battery status icon

indicator

I recently upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04, everything went fine, still hate unity and all that. But my battery status is not showing up at all, even on my laptop. There isn't even any spaces for it, there is only the Mail Icon, Wirelesss Icon, Sound, Time, [username] and Power. I have tried several different things to get it, but I am at a loss. Please help

  • I've already tried to install indicator-power and it is installed.

I found that my power indicator had simply crashed. Executing the following in a terminal restarted it in no time:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-power/indicator-power-service &disown
