Feedback on KubuntuPowerManagement

New applet!

http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/powermanager-wee.png

Add feedback here:

  • I loved it! -- JonathanRiddell DateTime(2006-08-11T12:50:53Z)

  • I like its simplicity and these are my notes -- LukaRenko DateTime(2006-08-11T20:12:45Z)

    • Lid close does not work due to dbus error (dbus_bindings.DBusException: No device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_LID) - FIXED in SVN

    • My laptop does not have SW brighness controls - [http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5156/brightnesseh2.png applet shades the sliders], but it would be better if they would not be shown at all

    • Lid close is not linked with battery/main powered so it should probably be in own section and not under Battery Powered section
    • When I attach second (travel) battery it does not get shown in tooltip (HP nw8240)
      • TODO --sebas
    • Tooltip shows % full twice - in the bar and as text (fixed --sebas)
    • Icons: GNOME icons are ugly and would be nice if some icons (battery, display...) can be added to tooltip/dialog to make it more visually attractive; same for Suspend/Hibernate actions.
    • We should disable klaptopdaemon (not even ship it) now that new applet is started by default
    • Key shortcuts for Suspend/Hibernate do not work yet - probably need Sleep/Hibernate/Power key configuration (as Lid close) as most laptops have only one (sleep or hibernate) key and users would like to decide what to do
  • Great start, needs tweaking -NickGee

    • Lid close blanked screen but didn't send my system into suspend on a Dell 700M
      • HAL problem? Please confirm that HAL suspend works --sebas
    • Is it possible to have the same functionality of the ubuntu power manager and only display the battery icon when charging or when running on battery? No tray icon needed if we have Suspend/Hibernate on the logout menu like Ubuntu.
    • Suspend and hibernate worked great
    • Icons: need to fit in with the rest of Kubuntu -ie probably a blue powerup bar
  • Pretty nice app, I liked kpowersave even better though... -- ["Hunger"]
    • I need to turn of hibernation as that just does not work on my system and thus I do not want to offer that option to the user. How do I do turn it off?
      • HAL claims that your laptop has hibernate, this is why it is offered - submit bug in acpi-support and request that your laptop is removed from whitelist -- LukaRenko DateTime(2006-08-27T12:30:07Z)

    • The icons could use some polish... the plug shown when on AC is half cut of here, etc.
    • The mouse over window is HUGE for the little information it holds. (fixed --sebas)
