title: Battery Indicator not displaying on Ubuntu Gnome 18.04 Top Bar
body: <p>I installed Ubuntu Gnome two days ago and everything is working fine besides the battery indicator. For some reason in the top bar it does not show even when using gnome tweaks to turn it on.</p>
  
  <p>I have used the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Returning: </p>
  
  <pre><code>native-path:          (null)
    power supply:         no
    updated:              Thu 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 IST (1573663817 seconds ago)

      warning-level:       unknown
      battery-level:       unknown
      icon-name:          '(null)'
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This shows that it can't even see a power supply never mind the battery percentage.</p>
  
  <p>I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the battery indicator multiples times and it is fully up to date. And also have updated Ubuntu and updated all the packages that need to be upgraded.</p>
  
  <p>After searching online I found that it may have to do with the autostart folder which <strong>does not</strong> contain the battery indicator, so it probably has something to do with that.</p>
  
  <p>Path to autostart file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc/xdg/autostart
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would appreciate any suggestion even if you think it is not the autostart problem. Thanks.</p>
