lxdpms power saving (Energy Star ON)

[Aleph]

Hi friends!

How was the party?

I have installed the new lxdpms now!

I think should be good but I have some doubts:

     - The gnome power save stopped after the install and PCLOS started without any battery monitor on the panel. The lxde icon is always at 100 and I added again the gnome power saving to Autostart for control the battery time remaining.
Everything is working well, but could be a conflict for have both, the gnome and lxdpms?

     -Wich are the differences between the gnome power saving and lxdpms?

     -Can I change something on lxdpms? It seems that it is not possible...

     - The lxdpms start ON?


Thanks.

If EnergyStar is on, and you run lxdpms, it will turn it off. If it is off, and you run lxdpms, it will turn it on.

Yes, ON is ON and OFF is OFF but could have a red or green icon indicating the status on the panel (I suggest)

Then, no conflict between both?

On/off icons created and coming soon.

Hi,

Could you please tell me, what does EnergyStar refer to when you are talking about it  ?

[Neal ManBear]

Energy efficiency setting.

Energy efficiency setting.    

Is there a gui to set it up in Lxde ?

[Neal ManBear]

It is on, or it is off. Use lxdpms to toggle it.

Yes, this is the question : is lxdpms a text mode tool or is it a gui ?

[Neal ManBear]

The question has been answered. It is a switch to toggle EnergyStar on or off.     

[melodie]

Can't a switch be sometimes text mode and sometimes gui mode ?

Ok, I seek for the answer:

 It makes sense when watching movies.

I see : Depends: xset, yad : yad is to display guis, therefore I think it must be a gui mode switch.

Thank you.
