APC UPS & gnome-power-manager

Hi there,
I am running gnome-power-manager on a system which is connected to an APC Back-UPS CS 500. It appears gnome-power-manager fails to recognize the UPS, however. In the preferences window, I only have an "On AC Power" and a "General" tab. AFAIK there ought to be an "On UPS Power" tab as well.
The UPS is connected correctly, as I can query it via apcaccess.
Any hints?
Edit: Just found http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75730
Gonna see if this fixes it.

Nope. As I said before:

  • Gnome-power-manager update causes backlight to power off frequently

    After the upgrade to gnome-power-manager 2.26.1-1 today, my laptop screen backlight is being powered off constantly, after only about 1 minute. It's not the screen blanking, but the backlight going off. It comes right back up if I do anything on the keyboard.
    My power management preferences haven't changed though. They're all set (as before the upgrade) to never dim the display and never put the display to sleep. So why is the backlight going off anyway?
    Also, this pretty distinctly seems to have to do with Gnome and not X. If I leave the laptop for an extended period at the GDM login screen, the backlight is never powered off. The problem only develops after I have logged into Gnome.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks, I looked for bugs on this, but didn't find that one on the backlight for some reason. I was about to issue my own bug report. Anyway, so I added my comments to the bug report, but it has been marked "fixed" already (because it was really addressing a slightly different issue with DPMS), so I don't know if I need to start a new bug report or not. I'll wait and see what kind of reply I get. (In fact, it seems like the fix to the problem in the backlight bug report may have caused the problem addressed in this thread.)
    That said, I found a work around, if you want to completely disable the backlight ever going off. You can issue the command:
    xset -dpms
    This disables entirely the display power management system (which I'm guessing gnome-power-manager operates as a frontend for). Of course, if you want your screen to be put to sleep after some set point of time this won't work. But you may be able to configure this directly with other xset commands or in xorg.conf (see links below).
    To disable dpms at startup. I found oddly that it didn't work to add it to my .xinitrc. So instead I went to System > Preferences > Startup Applications. Added an a program in the "Startup Programs" tab, named it "DPMS (disable)" and for the command put:
    xset -dpms
    This is working.
    You can also configue DPMS in xorg.conf, but I'm not using xorg.conf so I didn't fiddle with it. See: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DPMS and http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html.
    Hope that helps.

  • Gnome Power Manager Applet

    Hi all,
    since the last update, the gnome power manager applet is gone. I can change the preferences with the gnome-power-preferences tool, but the applet in the system bar is gone... Any idea?

    So what's going on?
    I do not assume, that users of other distros have such problems, at least in Foresight Linux the applet is working as supposed to, which confirms that it's not an upstream problem. There is a bug open, but no info about any progress.
    Is anybody working on a fix?
    Jan de Groot has been assigned to this task a few days ago. Jan works on 580 open tasks, most of which have a higher priority then this bug.
    As seen from the screenshot threads, quite some Arch users are on Gnome, so that's surely not something just a minority is in need of.
    What's with the Gnome 2.18.1 updates (though the working version of the Gnome Power Manager in Foresight Linux is 2.18.2 as well)?
    Oh my, an icon is not shown, man the life boats. The gnome-power-manager works perfectly -- at least for me -- it just doesn't show an icon in the notification area. If you absolutely need the icon, deploy Iloeki's script. It should do the job.

  • Gnome-power-management: /etc/group question

    gnome-power-management suspending works great for me as root , but not as unprivileged user:
    # groups
    root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel log
    # su print
    $ groups
    wheel video audio power noah thinkpad
    Wondering why this is?  (pm-suspend works as unprivileged user)
    TIA,
    print

    well, have a look at error messages (users.log, errors.log, messages.log, pm-suspend.log, ecc...). Did you log out after adding the "power" group to your user?

  • Changing brightness in gnome-power-manager has no effect

    Well it's mostly all in the title. When I change the brightness slider in gnome-power-manager it has no affect on brightness. However the fn key combo for changing the brightness does have change the brightness yet it brings up the volume like dialog for brightness yet no change is registered on the slider (despite brightness increasing). This erratic behavior is not seen in Fedora or Ubuntu so I know it can be made to work. I have a Dell Inspiron 640m.

    thunderogg wrote:Maybe a stupid question: Are you a member of the power group? I had a similar problem when I forgot to add my user to the power group.
    I am now. But it hasn't fixed anything. I restarted X after adding my user to the group.
    However when I started gnome-power-manager as root.  It wouldn't let me access the preference dialog BUT when I increased or decreased the brightness it showed me the proper progressbar indicator. I will restart and see what happens.
    edit:
    After a restart all is working well as far as I can tell. Thank you very much for all your help. It seems it was in fact an issue with the groups.

  • [Solved] Systemd - Overrides settings of Gnome-Power-Manager?

    Hello!
    I've always used the following to lines to tell Gnome-Power-Manager not to suspend my laptop, when the lid is closed:
    org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'blank'
    org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'blank'
    I remember a huge (and regular...) discussion around Gnome 3, because the developers resisted to re-implemented a button for this in the UI of Gnome3. Well, the two lines above done their job all the time. Since the last update of Systemd this seems to be ignored:
    Oct 09 01:19:58 cupcake systemd-logind[273]: Lid closed.
    Oct 09 01:19:58 cupcake systemd-logind[273]: Suspending...
    Oct 09 01:19:58 cupcake systemd[1]: Starting Sleep.
    Oct 09 01:19:58 cupcake systemd[1]: Reached target Sleep.
    Oct 09 01:19:58 cupcake systemd[1]: Starting Suspend...
    Is anyone other affected? Looks like a real problem for me. If I close the lid I want to close my lid, nothing more an especially not suspend

    This is driving me crazy. I've read the article, but I still don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I have tried changing values from logind.conf *IgnoreInhibited to yes to no, but the laptop still suspend when the lid is closed .
    All you need to do is set HandleLidSwitch=ignore in logind.conf, this will make systemd ignore the lid switch completely, and leave gnome to handle it. Its pretty self explanatory... You can also set the other similar options to ignore, like HandlePowerKey, HandleSuspendKey, HandleHibernateKey if you want only gnome to handle them.

  • How do I get gnome-power-manager working with standalone Openbox?

    I'm brand new to Arch, so sorry if this is a dumb question that's already been answered. I'm installing on a Thinkpad T410, and I want a battery icon in my system tray. I've installed Openbox as a standalone window manager, and I'm using tint2 for a panel and system tray. I need something in my system tray to show my battery status.
    I've looked around, and I don't really see any alternative to gnome-power-manager (I looked at trayfreq and batterymon), so I'm attempting to use that. I've installed it, but if I try to run it from a terminal I get this:
    GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power' is not installed
    aborting...
    Aborted
    After I get that, it quits and I really don't know what's going on there. Searching for "settings schema not installed" gets me nothing useful, so does anyone have an idea as to how to solve this problem?

    n1md4 wrote:This solution worked for me too.  I run a vanilla openbox install.  Although I now have the battery icon in the panel, when selecting preferences, nothing loads.  Any ideas?
    From this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118420 the user said it solved it installing gnome-control-center.

  • Udev and gnome-power-manager

    Hi,
    Recently I upgrade the udev from 141-5-i686 to 145-1-i686 in my MSI wind. Then the following problem begins:
    When the system boots this characters can be seen in the screen just before udev is finished: ^@^@
    I can add more characters during the whole boot process if I press Fn+F5 (the brightness hotkey).
    When gnome is running, in few minutes the screen change the brightness very fast, like blinking. This problem only happens if the gnome-power-manager is enabled.
    Downgrading udev fix the problem.
    Does anyone know if this is something related with this particular version of udev, or can I do something to fix it?
    I don't know if the following messages will help, because them can be seen with the current and with the old udev version. But they are the only ones that I think are related with hotkeys amb modules loading. So I post them just in case.

  • Gnome-power-manager with networkmanager_sleep option

    I have a wireless device using the ipw2200 module. I have always found it extremely annoying that gnome-power-manager asks NetworkManager to sleep before suspending, since, first of all, the ipw2200 module doesn't need to be unloaded and, secondly, because I always have to wait the extra few seconds it takes for NM to send the dhcp request after resuming. I made a patch that adds an option to turn the NM-sleep call on or off via a gconf entry (networkmanager_sleep). The patch has been accepted upstream and included in CVS. However, I've made a patch that applies cleanly to gnome-power-manager 2.16.1 as well. Here it is:

  • Pm-suspend quirks works - not gnome power manager

    I installed Arch on my Thinkpad R61 once before, but the suspend 2 ram stuff didn't work. Well, I installed again with the goal of figuring it out, and I did. If I add the line
    DISPLAY_QUIRK_S3_BIOS="true"
    to /etc/pm/config.d/config
    Then type sudo pm-suspend in the console and my computer gracefully goes to sleep and wakes up exactly how it should. However if I try to make my computer sleep through any other method, such as closing the lid or pressing the sleep button (Fn+F4) or using the gnome power icon, I just get the screen saver login window and when I return to the main desktop I see "Sleep Problem' popup from the gnome power icon. I'm wondering if there is another file I need to configure to make it all work. I'm really close and this is the last issue I have to solve to have a perfectly working arch install on my laptop, which would make me happy!

    same problem here..
    Acer 5920G T7300, Nvidia 8600GT, Intel 3945abg wifi card..running standard 2.6.25-ARCH from testing
    if I call "sudo pm-suspend" from the console, it works without problems
    if I try to suspend from the gnome-power-manager icon, it get me to the screen saver, and the "Sleep Problem" message popups.
    I have only installed pm-utils, and made the "resume=/path/to/swap" modify in grub's menu.lst .. no other configs or modifications made by me..
    edit I've just tried hibernate (sudo pm-hibernate) and it works fine too.. obviously it doesn't work by the gnome-power-manager icon.

  • VLC keeps automatically starting gnome-power-manager, why?

    Ive been running fluxbox as my main WM for a long time now. Recently I installed VLC, and every time I watch a movie it automatically starts gnome-power-manager. I have double checked my .fluxbox/startup and my xinitrc and even my rc.conf but there is no mention of gnome-power-manager or gnome-settings-dameon or anything gnome anywhere. It seems to only happen with VLC. Why does this keep happening?
    I don't want to use gnome-power-manager in fluxbox, but I have another user that uses gnome as the default wm so I don't want to remove gnome either. How can I stop this behavior?
    Last edited by tjwoosta (2009-09-13 19:00:19)

    The only thing I can think of is the screen saver option in vlc.
    Go to Tools / Preferences and click the All radio button select Video and see if Disable screensaver is selected.  If not disable it and see if it fixes the problem.

  • AUR eee-control/gnome-power-manager

    I updated my system, and seem to have a minor issue between gnome-power-manager 2.30 and eee-control-tray 9.4 (from the AUR, this might be the wrong section).  The tray tool functions normally, except for the automatic FSB scaling with the new gnome-power-manager applet:  When I launch eee-control-tray from the command line, I get an output of "FSB scaling not available.  Is gnome-power-manager running?"  I was wondering if anybody else has encountered this so far, and if it can be fixed.

    EDIT: After looking at "Package Contents" list on the package page:

    it appears gnome-power-manager is not installed, just gnome-power-statistics. How can this be? They are not the same thing AFAICT.

    should find some binaries.

    Seems there's only /usr/bin/gnome-power-statistics.

  • Hal gnome-power-manager hibernate scripts

    Hi All,
    I'm having issues hibernating to disk using gnome-power-manager. My user is in the "power" group and I can suspend from a terminal using "sudo hibernate". However, when I attempt to hibernate with gnome-power-manager, i recive an error "Hal failed to hibernate - please see FAQ". When I run g-p-m with no-daemon, it gives an "unspecified error: failed to hibernate". I have the necessary hibernate scripts in /usr/share/hal/scripts (is this the default dir?) and the hal-system-power-hibernate looks as follows:
    #!/bin/bash
    POWERSAVED_SUSPEND2DISK="dbus-send --system --dest=com.novell.powersave \
    --print-reply /com/novell/powersave \
    com.novell.powersave.action.SuspendToDisk"
    unsupported() {
    echo org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.NotSupported >&2
    echo No hibernate script found >&2
    exit 1
    if [ -x "/usr/sbin/hibernate" ] ; then
    echo "wtf"
    hibernate
    RET=$?
    else
    unsupported
    fi
    #Refresh devices as a resume can do funny things
    for type in button battery ac_adapter
    do
    devices=`hal-find-by-capability --capability $type`
    for device in $devices
    do
    dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
    $device org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Rescan
    done
    done
    exit $RET
    Please let me know what I'm missing or what necessary config files need to be tweaked.

    Does suspend to RAM work with gnome-power-manager? On my system I installed powersave from unstable, which is the daemon used by SuSE to do suspend to RAM and suspend to disk.

  • [SOLVED] gnome-power-manager issues since update?

    Since maybe an update (I'm not sure), gnome-power-manager isn't launched anymore. No battery applet, suspend and hibernation buttons.
    acpid, pm-utils are on.
    By launching it in terminal, it gives:
    ~$ gnome-power-manager
    (gnome-power-manager:3238): libupower-glib-WARNING **: Couldn't enumerate devices: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 127
    TI:17:42:09 TH:0x10cf090 FI:gpm-engine.c FN:gpm_engine_coldplug_idle_cb,834

    So would libupower-glib bug?

    yes there is:
    $ ./upowerd start
    ./upowerd: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    libusb-1.0.8-1 is installed
    What's this daemon for?
