The release notes are wrong. The API exists, but it's not implemented in desktop Firefox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604635 Title: Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in Gnome Powermanager: Won't Fix Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager Energy star is a standard backed by the US government to set standards for energy use of devices. The specification for Operating System settings can be found here: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=revisions.computer_spec Spec direct link (page 13): http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/revisions/downloads/computer/Version5.0_Computer_Spec.pdf Also to better help understand Energy Star. The Open Suse team actually heavily looked into this, and have a great presentation here: http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/3/34/EnergyStar.pdf The reason you want to be Energy star compliant: - Many retailers will not sell machines that are not Energy Star compliant - Most Government agencies will not buy hardware solutions that are not Energy Star compliant - OEMs are now pushing heavily to have all hardware be Energy Star compliant - The OS software default settings are apart of the Energy Star compliance of machines There are only two default settings preventing Ubuntu from being energy star compliant: * Put display to Sleep within 15 minutes of user inactivity when on A/C - Currently this is set to 30 min. So setting it to 15 or below would fix this. * Activate computer's Sleep mode within 30 minutes of user inactivity when on A/C. - Currently this is set to never - It is also under stood that this could potentially have user experience impact If both settings cannot be done by deafult. It has been requested to have an Energy Star button in Gnome Power Management interface that would set settings to be energy star compliant.
