Xfce4-settings-manager, missed tab „on battery“

[angel02_de]

I missed the tab „on battery“ in the Xfce4-settings-manager.
The xfce-battery-plugin ist installed, athcool ist installed too, I read in the Help from Xfce4-power-manager, that the tab „On battery“ is only shown on systems that have battery devices, but my notebook have a battery and there is no tab.

Here´ s the specs of my notebook:
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo K 7600
Grafik S3 Pro Savage 8
Soundchip VIA AC 97
CPU AMD Athlon XP-M 2500+
RAM 620 MB

Thanks for help

You should be able to find the package in Synaptic I believe

Same here...
Here is no entry in the Xfce4-settings-manager.
In my panel is battery-plugin...

The Xfce Power Manager is added to the Xfce Settings Manager once you install it from Synaptic, IIRC.

The Xfce Power Manager is added to the Xfce Settings Manager once you install it from Synaptic, IIRC

the xfce4-power-manager is installed and displayed in the xfce4-settings-manager.
But when I open the power-management it shows only "General", "On AC" and "Extended".
There is no Option "On Battery".

I also ran into this issue last night when I attempted to install the xfce-power-manager in LXDE, to replace the buggy LXDE battery monitor. When I started xfce-power-manager from the command line, there were two screens of warning messages about missing modules scrolling by in LXTerminal before xfce-power-manager finally launched. Once it did, lo and behold, there was no option "On Battery."

Gotta dig deeper into this ...

I fired up the 2010.7 LiveCD and there is a README on the Desktop about this not working.

Here is the output from LXTerminal when I attempt to start xfce4-power-manager-settings from the command line:

Here's the readme file that pertains to this:

Power Management
There is no power manager installed.

1. You can choose to install the xfce power manager and live with it not working quite right.
2. You can choose to install the gnome power manager, which is reported to be working in Phoenix.

I leave that up to you to decide.

charsan2,

I'm aware of that, and I have the Xfce Power Manager working on two other laptops, running Phoenix/Xfce. I do know that there were other issues with the Xfce Power Manager a few months ago, but IIRC, this issue is separate from the one I'm reporting on here.

Doesn't matter a whole lot, other than it would be nice to have Xfce's native power manager application working as it should.

Meanwhile, I've installed the gnome-power-manager application in LXDE, and it is working exceptionally well.

For 2010.07 I did not install a default power manager.  Sproggy told me it is buggy.  There is a readme on the desktop of the live-cd recommending the gnome-power manager but neither one is installed by default.

Okay, sorry about that.
