I just got back from GUADEC, I'm expecting us to see more tweaks and tunings in 3.14 and 3.16 in this area..they're still not happy with how notification works, though they seem pleased with the general direction of travel > However, I have not been able to run down batteries with two batteries > installed to see whether upower/GNOME now cooperate more nicely, but > may get a chance next week.

No, but the 'fix' is already in Factory (and I think it might have even shipped in 13.1) - YaST has a tickbox in the partitioner during installation to 'Expand Swap for Hibernate' That's no good for those of us who have it too small and who upgrade..but I guess you could get creative with shrinking partitions and creating a second swap partition to make up the difference > Noooow, a curious question: If, after the change above, I run > > gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power > critical-battery-action > > that shows 'nothing' as expected.

I imagine "feature" - Settings modules can only show settings it's aware of (even if theres 'hidden' values in gsettings).. I did speak to somebody at GUADEC however who understood the problems this causes, I'm hoping we see changes in upcoming versions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
