Removal of Low icon and other stuff.

Okay: Progress update:

2005-07-01 Richard Hughes  <richard@...>
* src/gpm-notification.c : Removed the low icon code in prep for
DavidZ and Andrei's patches. Code is simpler and less complicated.

Andrei's menu patch [2] will go in soon (next week) with a design
something similar to my mockup [3]

DavidZ's patch [1] for themed icons will go in as soon as Andrei's work
is completed. Nice icons would be gratefully received.

Just so you know what the plan is :-) Comments welcome.

Richard.

Suspend to Disk

Does GPM provide any user interface for the suspend to disk features 
embodied in such projects as http://sourceforge.net/projects/swsusp or 
http://www.suspend2.net ?

Sincerely,
Chris

In the fact that it can now call a script, yes. I'm not sure what (and
if) these projects have any user-changeable settings to modify.

See http://gnome-power.sourceforge.net/images/drop-down.png and you'll
see the menu that you can use.
Also see: http://gnome-power.sourceforge.net/gpm.php#gconf for the gconf
values and keys.

Tell me how you get on...

Richard.

Hi Richard,

	Glad to see the progress you've made since I last submitted that
patch :-)

Anyway, I tried out the new 0.(0?).5 version of GPM and for some reason,
nothing worked. Unlike the last version 0.3, there was a popup, this
time there was none.

I take it that the gconf keys can actually be used to call actual
scripts rather than command like echo? (I've not tried it out yet)

How does the warning work? It didn't/doesn't work for me.

Good. Actions support in HAL may be some way off, and this was something
that a _lot_ of people were asking for.

Could you print the output of gnome-power-manager --verbose please...

Also, make sure /apps/gnome-power/general/displayIcon is set, if no icon

Once it starts to work (even remotely) you'll see more ppl interested
right? :-)

Okay.. I've rebooted the machine (it was under suspend2 for 6 days and
19 suspends and my PC-card nic was a bit edgy) and it works now. The
Send-Warning will come out with the *TESTING* dialog box. Cool.

Unfortunately, pulling the AC out doesn't generate a warning dialog.
Why?

** (gnome-power-manager:28131): DEBUG: property_modified
** (gnome-power-manager:28131): DEBUG: key = 'ac_adapter.present'
** (gnome-power-manager:28131): DEBUG: udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_AC'

Yes, and it begins to be remotely useful... :-)

Good, that's all I've done so far.

K. Will check it out later when time permits.

*** lshal: property_modified, udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_AC,
key=ac_adapter.present
           is_removed=false, is_added=false
*** new value: false  (bool)

yes it does.

Nope, you are right. I've forgotten to perform an action on battery
loss. Patch (to CVS) attached.
