[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] 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.

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)

That bug start happening after one of last week updates. I don't have a package cache.
Can anyone help me?
p.s. sorry for a bad English.

Yes, i'm actually running xfce4 (all other things from xfce4 group are installed).
It starts from a login manager named LightDM.

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!

[SOLVED] XFCE 4.12 - laptop lid ignores power-manager settings

I just fresh installed Arch w/ XFCE 4.12
In power manager, I set the lid switch to suspend on battery, lock on ac. The setting worked initially, but after the first suspend, or a reboot, the lid switch triggers suspend no matter what.
I tried setting HandleLidSwitch=ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf, as suggested in numerous online sources, but it didn't help
I tried rm -rf .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml, which makes it work temporarily again, until a suspend or a reboot
Does anyone know of a fix for this? It's not a deal-breaker but it's a pain in the ass.

I may have solved it.
I edited the xml file directly and set <property name="logind-handle-lid-switch" type="bool" value="false"/>
Now the options seem to work as intended. I also noticed that if you launch the settings applet, it changes that key back to true every time it's opened. The change can also be made through the settings editor.
I'll test for 24 hours and mark as solved if it works.
EDIT:
That didn't work permanently, I'm back to suspending on lid close on AC. I'm using TLP with battery thresholds enabled, and I'm starting to wonder if xfce-power-manager is reading the charge state of the battery instead of the power source directly. When my battery is below the start charging threshold and is actually charging, it seems to be working as intended. If my laptop is on AC but the battery is not actually charging, it acts like it's on battery. I might be wrong, it's just a theory.

[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?

USB ports power management settings

An All-In-One HP Printer, Scanner, Copier is connected via USB cable, directly to one of the two USB ports in the Macbook. When the Macbook is put in sleep mode, the connection between the HP and the Macbook is interruped (I presume) because in sleep mode, the power (from the computer) to the USB ports is turned OFF, instead of being kept alive, or even reduced. Upon waking up, the HP's functions are partially disabled, e.g. there is no possibility of scanning a document. Restoring all the functions requires uninstalling the HP software, when some of its components have to be trashed manually, and reinstall the software. HP technical support has been very responsive both in contents and in speed, but suggest that the problem might be caused by the power being turned OFF to the USB ports, when the Macbook goes into sleep mode. They suggest either to power OFF the AIO HP before putting the Macbook to sleep, and powering ON the AIO after the Macbook wakes up and regains complete functionality. They also suggest to change the settings of Power Management to the USB ports. I have searched the forums here, and the web in general, but have found no indication that it is possible to change or even access the settings of the power that feeds the USB ports of the Macbook. After this long introduction, for which I apologize, here come two questions. 1) Is there a way, maybe via Terminal, to change the USB power management settings, and how? 2) If there is no such way, would it be possible to work around the problem by connecting the AIO, via USB cable, to a powered USB hub (connected to the Macbook), instead of connecting it directly to the Macbook's USB port, the "rationale" being that the USB hub is always powered, and stays powered when the Macbook is put in sleeping mode. Thanks in advance.

I have solved the issue by turning OFF the printer before sleeping or turning off the computer itself.

Some SCCM2007 Power Management settings being applied.

Hi Currently we are still using SCCM 2207 for our Windows 7 rollout. Our environment is reasonably large (in NZ terms) and varied.
Initially there will be 2 power schemes which will be applied by sccm, both have to be customized for the need of the hospital. In tests the power settings are coming down but several of the settings are missing i.e. the length the display stays active,
in tests I have set it to 5mins but the setting stays as never. I know the sccm settings are coming down as I have put "configmgr" next to the customized title which shows on the PC. I have removed all domain policies that have power-management settings.
The "never" option was what was applied to the pc via domain group policy originally but has been removed a couple of days ago.
Thanks
Paul

hey brassie,
i would suggest uninstalling the power management software and then go to http://support.lenovo.com and download the latest version and install it.

Windows Power Management settings don't work with ITunes

Purchased a refurbished Dell Optiplex system a few weeks ago with a 3.2 Ghz Pentium processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM, and 160 GB of hard drive - so a nice, new, fast system running Windows XP.
I set my Power Management settings to go to screen saver after 20 minutes, and power down after 45 minutes. It worked just fine for a month, and the day I downloaded Itunes onto this computer, those settings do not work.
I have reset them.
I have changed them (to as little as one minute).
I have changed them back to the original settings.
I have rebooted my computer.
I have run 2 different spyware programs (Spybot and Adaware) as well as run an anti-virus scan (TrendMicro Housecall).
Nothing has changed, and my only conclusion is that Itunes is somehow interfering with the power settings for my computer and monitor. This is rather frustrating, as I'd like my computer to shut off on its own if someone walks away (I can't trust my kids to log off on their own).
Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Hi, I just bought my iPhone a couple of days ago and am having the same problems.
I have a Macbook at home, but need to be able to sync with my work computer for contacts and calendar. At work I'm running on Windows XP Pro SP 2 and MS Outlook 2003 SP 3. I've made sure to update all MS software. I'm running on iPhone 1.1.3 and iTunes 7.6.
My contacts sync fine, but, so far, no luck with my calendar. I've gone through the trouble of completely deleting everything off my calendar and am trying "test" appointments to no avail. What's really frustrating is that I've logged out of my ID on this computer and logged in using a test ID. I can successfully sync a test appointment following those steps.
Tech support tells me that since I'm successful under those conditions, it must be a corrupt entry on my main calendar. But, as I've mentioned, I deleted everything I can find off my main calendar and am still not able to get it to sync successfully.
This is quite frustrating.

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.

Does anyone else have this working? It used to work fine.

How do I get the power manager settings to take hold? And stay that way?

I want to have my computer awake while on the battery and while I'm driving my car. To reduce distraction, I want to have the lid closed.
In order to make this mode easy to get to, I created a new power plan that has the "lid-closed" event result in "do nothing". Sometimes, this works. Sometimes, the computer goes to sleep. It is exceedingly annoying when the computer goes to sleep because I will get to my destination 45 minutes later and find that the computer didn't do what I wanted.
I've also noticed that the setting for "do nothing" sometimes bleeds over to other power plans. This is also a problem because, under ordinary situations, I would like my computer to behave normally.
Here's a summary of the situation:
1. I've disabled the "apply the settings to all power plans" button.
2. I've created a new power plan called "Logging" that should stay awake when the lid is closed. This power plan will sleep after 65 minutes and hibernate 10 minutes after that (on battery).
3. This plan stays awake sometimes, but not other times. At this instant, sitting in my living room, it refuses to stay awake. Oops, just tried it and now it works (a little consistency here would be nice).
4. As a case example, this morning the computer behaved as expected: I arrived at my destination and it was still away and logging. This afternoon, I woke it up and started logging, closed the lid, and drove off. Upon reaching my destination, I discovered that the computer went to sleep as soon as the lid was closed.
5. The program I'm running logs data points. When the computer sleeps, data points don't get logged. Therefore, I know the computer is sleeping because, after a long logging session (45 minutes), there will only be a few seconds of data points (which correspond to the amount of time it takes to close the lid). If the computer goes to sleep after 10 minutes or 30 minutes, there would be many more data points.
6. When the computer hibernates or sleeps, it seems to remove whatever change I last put into the plan. Even so, the plan still "says" that the change is there.
Ultimately, the difficulty here is that I can't predict what the computer is going to do. If I could, then I could adjust my use pattern.

Try this:
Go into Power Manager, choose the Logging profile.
Go into Windows' Power Options, choose a different profile, then switch back to the Logging profile.
See if this clears any contradiction between the two.

Query or Report Showing Machines/Users Who Have Opted Out of the Power Management Settings via Software Center

Is there a record in the DB of machines which have been opted out of power management? In other words i want a report of machines that have the tick box for 'Do not apply power settings from my IT department to this computer' in Software Center.
Thank you.

Hmmmm, i should have had a coffee before submitting this question!
The report is a default one:
