- GNOME Power Manager
- A Power Manager for GNOME
-
- GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of
- the Project Utopia stack, which includes the kernel, hotplug, udev, and HAL. GNOME
- Power Manager listens for HAL events and responds with user-configurable reactions.
- Currently it supports UPS's, laptop batteries and AC adapters. Its goal is to be
- architecture neutral and free of polling and other hacks.
-
- Most of the code is actually in HAL for abstracting various power aware devices
- (UPS's) and frameworks (ACPI, PMU, APM etc.) - so the desktop parts are fairly
- lightweight and straightforward to write.
-
- GNOME Power Manager comes in three parts:
-
- - gnome-power-manager: the manager daemon itself
- - gnome-power-preferences: the control panel program, for configuration
- - gnome-power-statistics: the statistics graphing program
-
- To build, GNOME Power Manager requires
-
- - libgnomeui-2.0
- - libglade-2.0
- - libhal-0 (from HAL 0.5.7 , 0.5.8 recommended)
- - libdbus-1 (from D-BUS 0.70 or later)
- - libdbus-glib-1 (from D-BUS 0.70 or later)
- - libnotify (from 0.3.0 or later, 0.4.3 recommended)
-
- To work properly, gnome-power-manager requires hald to be running.
