[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.

[SOLVED] GNOME Power Manager Icon

Hello,
With the recent influx of GNOME 2.22 packages, gnome-power-manager has begun to behave strangely on my system.
In gnome-power-preferences, I have specified that the notification area icon should only be displayed when my laptop battery is charging or discharging. Since I upgraded my GNOME packages, the icon has always appeared in my notication area upon login -- even if I am running on AC power. In that situation, the tooltip for the icon reads as follows:
Computer is running on AC power
Laptop batteries discharging (100%)
Battery discharge time is currently unknown
If I unplug the power cord from my computer, the icon (strangely) disappears. If I then proceed to plug the cord back in, the icon will appear briefly (I assume to indicate that what little power was drained from the battery is being replenished) and then disappear once more.
This problem is occurring on a Dell Inspiron 6400 (E1505). I feel that I might need to report this issue as a bug, but I'd first like to know if anyone else has noticed this oddity since the upgrade.
Thanks!
Edit:
It seems as if gnome-power-manager thinks that I have two laptop batteries (though I have only one). Clicking on the notification icon lists two batteries: one with the usual "on AC power" icon and the other with the "discharging" (standard battery) icon.
I do not think that there are any problems with ACPI: running acpi yields the following:
Battery 1: charged, 100%
I'm not quite sure where gnome-power-manager procures its information about the batteries)....

hi miau!
i changed my xorg.conf to match your suggestions... Option "DPMS" "true" moved in Monitor section and blanking and dpms settings in ServerLayout:
Section "ServerLayout"

i guess you suggested me to do this way, isn't it?
unfortunately it still doesn't work!
it seems that after login gnome-power-manager resets all the settings about dpms in xorg.conf... every section i put them in...
this is part of the output of xset q just after login:

any other idea?

SOLVE strange problem with suspend and resume with gnome-power-manager

I have pm-utils and gnome installed.
Suspending and hibernation works well from the command line ($ pm-hibernate and $ pm-suspend). Resuming works without any problems.
Suspending from gnome "Shutdown dialog" works perfectly as well.
However, if suspending is initiated by gnome-power-manager something strange happens: After pressing the power button resuming switches to hibernation and my laptop turns off. Resuming from disk works fine again.
Now, suspending works fine again if I change and save any config file in /etc/pm/.
Here comes the strange thing: It doesn't really matter what I change as long as I save it.
However, as soon as I reboot resuming fails again the way I described above.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?
I get no error messages and I've tried all sorts of boot entries.
Last edited by mehldutt (2007-12-26 19:42:31)

After some try and error my guess is that "HAL" is responsible for this problem:
I deinstalled ACPID and 'pm-utils' and switched to 'uswsusp'.
I made the appropriate changes to the appropriate hal-scrips
usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/s2ram --force
usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/s2disk
After these changes I still have the same problem: immidiatly after resuming form suspend (via power-button) my laptop hibernates (s2disk).
However, if I delete all entries in "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" resuming from suspend works fine again, but hibernate doesn't of course. So, some script must be calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" emmediatly after resuming from suspend.
A couple of weeks ago everything worked fine. My guess is that one of the recent hal-updates is causing this.
How can I figure what script is calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" after resuming from suspend?

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.

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.

When I set "System Settings > Power > Put the computer to sleep when inactive" to 5 min. Nothing ever happens.
I have searched and looked in dconf-editor but been unable to discover anything useful.

I found this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675005 nonbug so...but any chance this is a matter of privileges when it comes to power settings?
I am running gnome 3 on my desktop never had any problems with suspend before. I did create a new user and deleted the old user before installing gnome 3, so maybe I missed something in that process.
Taking a look at the power settings on my netbook with gnome 2.32.1 they sure did slim down them settings.
This is the output if I run gnome-control-center -
libnm-glib.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/control-center-1/panels/libnetwork.so
Error getting primary device: GDBus.Error:org.gnome.PowerManager.Failed: There is no primary device to reflect system state (don't show any UI)
If I press the suspend button from the user menu I suspend just fine btw so thats a bit weird.

Gnome power manager upgrade - nvidia sedmentation error

I am trying to use the rolling update model properly and check the web page for issues before doing my pacman Syu.
I updated gnome-power-manager (along with the other available updates) today amd immediately noticed different behaviour.
The laptop (Dell Inspiron 1720) no longer suspended when I shut the lid. I still had the shutdown menu option but... when I used it it intermittently caused segmentation fault errors in nvidia settings and stuff like Google Earth no longer worked. My graphics card is geForce 8600M GT.
Downgrading the gnome-power-manager package restored everything to working order.
Maybe I did something daft, but I'd like to know if there is something else I should have checked or if there is a problem with this package. In the meantime I've added it to IgnorePkg

i just pointing out that you can try to fix it yourself(until is fixed in our repo) by compiling gnome-power-manager using abs and add that option to the ./configure within PKGBUILD.

Gnome-power-manager and screen brightness

gnome-power-manager appears to be screwing with my ability to adjust the screen brightness. Now there are only two brightness settings that work - the ones defined in gnome-power-manager settings. Using the keyboard shortcuts "works" in that I can increase the brightness one level but then the change gets overridden. Decreasing the brightness sets it at the minimum level then I can get it back without entering gpm settings. This definitely work before the last update and I think for a while after.
Is there anyway I can get it to listen to manual adjustments?
Edit: I think this was due to the latest hal update.
> lshal | grep bright
laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware = false (bool)
Edit 2:
Found http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-290994.html
Adding "video" to MOD_BLACKLIST in /etc/rc.conf fixed this. This is just a kernel module right? Nothing else will be screwed...?

Some time ago I also configured Fn keys to work with it (on Ubuntu), but on Arch I didn't manged but I didn't try hard (in general i don't need, my laptop is stationary all the time).

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.
Last edited by cb474 (2009-04-23 07:14:55)

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?

Master One wrote:
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.
