[Solved] xfce4-power-manager broken in Xfce 4.10?

EDIT: I found out that the “Lid closed”-event is apparently now also recognised as a “Sleep button”-event by the kernel. Both events triggered a suspend command when I closed the lid, which led to some weird shit.

I don't think it has anything to do with ConsoleKit, since I was and still am able to shut down, automount etc., but I'll humor you: My .xinitrc looks like this:
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
I don't use a login manager.

[Solved]Xfce4 Power Manager Settings

Hi!
I've got a little question, but i couldn't find the answer on google. What is the command line to get to the Xfce4-power-manager settings? Thanks in advance
Edit: Found it xfce4-power-manager-settings

Xfce is developed at a slow pace, they rarely make releases. Version of xfce4-power-manager from [extra] is 2 years old and doesn't have proper support for systemd and new version of upower. Update to version from [testing], it's a git snapshot, but it's been very stable for me. Here is bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39893

[SOLVED] Double Icon, xfce4-power-manager - Ideas?

Hey all,
Recently I've had this little launcher-like icon beside my power manager icon in xfce4. I can't seem to get rid of it...and when you right-click on it, it's the exact same thing as the xfce4-power-manager icon. If I try to click the "quit" option, it closes itself and the xfce4-power-manager. It's like a double-icon for xfce4-power-manager that I can't seem to get rid of.
So far I've tried deleting all of my xfce configs (rm -rf /home/<user>/.config/{xfce4,xfce4-session}) and it still shows up. I've looked at the .xml files and they look fine. So...I settled on just hiding the icon(s)...it only shows up as one icon to hide in the notification area preferences.
Any suggestions/ideas on how to get rid of it? Screenshot provided:

The only other thing I can think of is you either have 2 instances of xfce4-power-manager running, or gnome-power-manager is trying to launch.
Have you previously or are you currently starting gnome services at start up (Settings >> Session and Startup - Advanced tab)? If so, check the Application Autostart tab to see if you have both gnome-power-manager and xfce4-power-manager selected.
Otherwise check to see if more than 1 instance of xfce4-power-manager is running:
$ ps aux | grep xfce4-power-manager
there should be too lines similar to the following:
padfoot 2586 0.1 1.2 177036 12500 ? Ssl 16:51 0:03 xfce4-power-manager --restart --sm-client-id 263cc3d4b-0aaa-48ba-9bfe-14697576ae9f
padfoot 2615 0.0 0.2 16680 2848 ? Ss 16:51 0:00 xfce4-power-manager
Any more than that and you have more than 1 instance.
Let me know
Cheers.

Xfce4-power-manager and laptop-mode-tools + backlight problems.

Cross posted from here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127992
I don't know which forum it belongs to, so maybe a mod can close the one in the wrong forum.
Out of curiosity, do these two tools conflict with each other? There seems to be some features that do the same thing, ie harddrive spin down time, but I'm not sure if these two will try to kill each other trying to configure the same power settings. If they do conflict, how could I go about disabling the conflicting parts (on either)? laptop-mode-tools claims it needs acpid "for ACPI support", however, acpid seems to be grabbing the standby event and throwing the laptop in standby despite the standby button bound to do nothing in xfce-power-manager. If I take out acpid, does that mean laptop-mode will no longer detect acpi events such as connecting/disconnecting AC power and thus not change modes when its plugged in?
Another problem I've had after installing xfce4-power-manager is that when I use the brightness hotkeys the backlight gets stuck and starts flashing, locking up the system until I force shutdown. However, I can use the brightness plugin without trouble at all. What's causing the power manager to screw up setting the brightness since it clearly seems to work otherwise.

It is easier to close this one and move the other thread over here. Just continue there.
BTW better use the Report button when you want to have a thread of yours moved to another forum. That way it is guaranteed a mod will see this in time. And you never need to cross post.

How do I install a patch? (xfce4-power-manager tray icon patch)

Sorry if this is a stupid question or if the answer can be found elsewhere, but I googled and searched the forums and couldn't find any answers.
xfce4-power-manager had for the longest time had a tray icon showing battery status, and they recently decided to remove it in favor of a xfce-panel only icon. Bringing it back was requested on bugzilla and a patch was released.
But I really have no idea what to do with it. Can someone shine some light on this for me?

Xfce4-power-manager & change icon in Xfce4 panel

Hello!
I'm trying to change the appearance for the latest xfce4-power-manager (v1.4.1-2). I use elementary Xfce icons. The former xfce4-power-manager was using the correct (simple black & white) elementary icon in the notification area in the Xfce4 panel. With the latest version, where xfce4-power-manager has to be added manually to the panel, it is using some kind of colourful icon.
Is there some way to tell the program to use the elementary icons instead? I've already tried to edit /usr/share/applications/xfce4-power-manager-settings.desktop. But no dice.
Thanks in advance.

Do you know the location of both, the simple black & white icon and the colourful one?
If you do, you can try the following. Backup the original colourful one and paste a copy of the one you want to use in the same location and with the same name.
Afterwards check if the result is the one you want.
I have myself come across the situation of wanting to change an icon through the .desktop file but in the end it seems that some icons, even in this case maybe?, are hardcoded and can't be changed through a .desktop file.
More than willing for someone to proof me wrong though!

Xfce4-power-manager does not start, but after relogin - works

Hi all.
When I login after system start, xfce4-power-manager does not start and systemtray icon doesn't appear. But after relogin (not restart), the systemtray icon of xfce4-power-manager appears and power manager itself works correctly (if I don't relogin, notebook will shutdown after 10 minutes of downtime - that rule doesn't exist in xfce4-power-manager settings).
Diff between two logs (before relogin and after, xfce4-power-manager --debug command)

Xfce4-power-manager screen brightness osd

I'm having trouble with xfce4-power-manager and the screen brightness osd on my thinkpad t530. There seem to be only 2 different brightness levels. If I change the brightness manually in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness it seems to work fine, but when i do fn-f8 or fn-f9 its either on full brightness or 11. Does anyone else have this working? It used to work fine.

[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)....

I just updated to HAL 0.5.11rc2-2, and it seems that my problem has been solved!
I didn't see the related bug report before starting this thread.... Thanks, JGC!

[Solved] KDE power managment fails

Just did a fresh arch install on my laptop and put KDE on it but power-devil won't work like it should. It doesn't see the laptop battery and doesn't detect the cpu frequency scaling ability. I'm kind off clueless about this one since power managment used to work out of the box from KDE SC 4.2 throughout 4.4.

regarding cpu frequency scaling: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=22 … 36#p162731
you don't need acpid. i don't have it and powerdevil works fine.

[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:

[SOLVED] gnome-power-manager ignores dpms_method_ac

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:

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:

[SOLVED] Lid doesn't suspend anymore with xfce power manager

The options "When laptop lid is closed" are set to suspend (and used to work), but still, when I close my lid, nothing happens. Using the logout dialog or the suspend button my keyboard works. Is it a problem with xfce-power-manager, or ACPI not registering the lid event anymore? Any idea how to fix that?
[edit]
I solved that problem by removing ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml, killing the power manager and reloging in my session to flush the settings. Then I reconfigured the lid closed action to suspend (and everything else to my liking).

Sorry to bother you again, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore...
Somehow it can't lock the GNOME session, because when I enter the above line from /etc/acpi/handler.sh manually as root in TTY1, I get this error:
** Message: Failed to get session bus: Befehlszeile »dbus-launch --autolaunch=c9375f4ea0008d92177b28db000009ae --binary-syntax --close-stderr« brach mit von Null verschiedenem Beenden-Status 1 ab: No protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n
If I enter this command inside GNOME, everything works just fine, it locks the screen and suspends.
EDIT:
Setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable properly did the trick. Therefore, I borrowed some lines from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … losing_lid
Thread marked as SOLVED again.
