Install Problem! The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator.
I currently have Ubuntu v11.04 operating system. I installed updates from Update Manager and restarted my computer after updates completed. At the login screen, an error message is in the upper right-hand corner of the screen that says:
Install Problem!
The configuration defaults for GNOME
Power Manager have not been installed
correctly.
Please contact your computer administrator.
If I try to login, the screen just goes black. I am new to linux and have no idea what to do. I have read previous answers to this issue, but none have worked so far. I tried ctrl+alt+f1 and then the following commands:
*cleaning my cache to free up space by:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
*updating and upgrading (also checking pending or missing package) by:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
Nothing I have tried so far has worked. Please help if you have any suggestions.

Thanks for you quick reply. Before I got your message I tried removing the gnome power manager by
sudo apt-get remove gnome-power-manager
sudo apt-get clean
I then tried to install it, which failed, by
sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager
However, even though the install failed, my computer works fine now. Once I removed gnome power manager, I have had no issues. I can login with out any error message. I'm not sure what went wrong with the update, but for now I think I'm just going to leave it removed.
Thanks again for your help.

Tried installing gnome-power-manager again, and it worked fine this time. No problems logging in or booting up, and battery power manager works now.
The final solution, for anyone else that may have this problem, was to remove and then re-install Gnome Power Manager with the commands in the last post.

Greetings.
I also had the same problem and followed Kay's advice :-
sudo apt-get remove gnome-power-manager
sudo apt-get clean
I then tried to install it, which failed, by
sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager
All it woked here as well.
Thanks for this.
