I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 from Live CD KDE build 666, I did it with laptop battery removed out, now I have insert the battery and the battery widget says that battery is not present. If I reboot the computer the problem persists.
KDE issue? hardware detection issue?

Expected Results:  
When battery is inserted, the OS and the widget should detect it and start to monitor it.

Check if "hal" is installed. If not, install it and reboot. If it helps, please mark this bug as a duplicate of 615738.
