[Bug 82277] Re: [Feisty] guidance-power-manager doesn't work for UPS on a desktop system
Is this bug forgotten about? I would (like several other commenters) like my desktop machine to automatically suspend if it is left unused. Power isn't exactly cheap where I live, and wasting it is environmentally unfriendly... and I like my living room to be as silent as possible. So it would be nice if the power manager applet was allowed to start regardless of it being run on a laptop or not, or even better, the suspend-when-idle settings being moved to the general system configuration somewhere (seems logical to put it at the same place where you can configure the monitor to automatically shut down due to inactivity, in my opinion). I don't really need another icon in the system tray...

I think we should get rid of the laptop check, and just leave it so that if any battery is detected, guidance starts. And also have a "Do not start Power manager on start up" -- [Feisty] guidance-power-manager doesn't work for UPS on a desktop system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kde-guidance in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Ah... Won't most people not notice or need powermanager, and also not stop it manually? Won't that slow down startup unnecessarily in the common case?

[Bug 82277] Re: [Feisty] guidance-power-manager doesn't work for UPS on a desktop system
Powermanager does not support UPS (or mouse...) batteries. We currently support only primary (laptop) batteries. This might be considered for future version (but it is hard to test as developers do not own any HW to test this). ** Changed in: kde-guidance (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- [Feisty] guidance-power-manager doesn't work for UPS on a desktop system https://launchpad.net/bugs/82277 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
