Battery icon not showing in Ubuntu Unity 14.04?

Question

After I did the latest update to Ubuntu Unity 14.04, the battery status icon is suddenly not showing up anymore on the Panel. I checked the settings, it should show, but it doesn't; what can I do?

Please, explain in simple words, I come from Windows and have very little Linux experience.

In my case it was the Power manager System Manager > Power Manager > General > System Tray Icon - Always Show Icon

The following command worked for me:

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

I solved this issue by editing the acpi option in the boot code. Hope it works for others too.

SOLUTION

When in the GRUB press the E key to enter the boot code of the option,
After the penultimate line looking for a part that says acpi = off
change the value off to on
press ctrl + x to start following the orders already given and READY.

I hope this solves your issue.
