tried all kinds of stuff in d-conf, removed screensavers, fideled with 
gnome-settings...

I am using Gnome 3.4.2 in fallback mode on a Debian Wheezy distro.

I hope you guys can help me!

[gpm] display comes out of sleep

jamby — 2012-10-13T19:51:53

Hi

   I am running centos 6.3 on a Dell gx620 desktop.  Once an hour, for 
no know reason GPM comes out of sleep mode.
   Is there any way to find out what is causing this??

Re: [gpm] Monitor un-dimming

Jacob Rau — 2012-06-25T20:13:38

I'll hop in with a "me too" as well. I simply disable dimming, since
it seems to be riddled with bugs. That would be my solution. I've
never bothered to look at the source. But I've had nothing but issues
with it jumping to full brightness, lowest brightness, randomly
deciding it is going to change while I'm touching it...I eventually
decided my BIOS was doing a better job.

[gpm] Monitor un-dimming

Jan Gloser — 2012-06-16T23:06:05

Hello,

"""
Scenario: Monitor dimming

Given my monitor gets dimmed when the computer is idle
And I have set my monitor brightness to 60%(using xbacklight) because I'm
coding at night
And I go to the toilet and return
And my monitor is dimmed
And I move the mouse

Then my monitor brightness should be back on 60%
"""

Is there a way to accomplish this using gnome-power-manager? Because right
now the brightness jumps to 100%.

Thanks a lot,
John

Re: [gpm] Prevent sleep from background daemon

Richard Hughes — 2012-05-30T13:59:50

At the moment no, but we've just added the needed interfaces to
systemd to make this kind of thing work in the future. The best way of
course would be to make the transcoding application run in the user
session.

[gpm] Prevent sleep from background daemon

Tobias Hieta — 2012-05-29T19:04:54

Hello,

My application is a background server that transcodes videos and serves
them up to the user in different ways. We run the server as a specific
non-privileged user for security. Now, while transcoding and working we
would like to prevent the computer from being suspended by the power
manager, I have been looking around and found that you can post DBus
messages to the gnome-session to inhibit sleep/suspend, but it seems to me
that it can only be sent from the same user that is logged in since the
gnome-session bus seems private. Is there someway to tell the users
gnome-session to not go to sleep or another facility that I should talk to
from my daemon?

Thanks for your help,
Tobias Hieta

In newer versions, all the keychecking in done in the power plugin of
gnome-settings-daemon. I don't know what version g-p-m is shipped in
lucid.

nagaraj karre — 2012-04-01T17:24:45

Hi sir,

I am interested in working on gnome-power-manager.

In my lucid filesystem gnome-power-manager is running in background.
Whenever I press the power button it is askimg me to suspend/shut down.

Here my question is where the gnome-power-manager is checking for the
power button press event.

Please suggest me.

Thanks,
Nagaraj

GNOME 2.30 is really old and no longer supported. Can you try with a

Try the gnome tweak tool, it has option to set lid close behavior.

[gpm] where are my settings?

g b — 2011-12-11T06:36:26

Hi,

i'm using debian wheezy, and noticed that the gnome 3 power settings
has less then 1/10 of the settings available in gnome2.

special attention to the option to NOT do anything when the laptop lid
is closed. Anyway i can set this one?

maybe listing on the website the gconf keys so we can easily not be
impaired by the lacking options until it's decided to include them
back?

thank you,

[gpm] No default setting for screen brightness

Aaron Lu — 2011-12-08T09:06:55

Thanks for the explanation.

I used to have this problem with Fedora 15 and now I'm using
Fedora 16 which does not have this problem. I don't know
what has changed though and obviously there is still no system
level setting for this with Fedora 16.

Re: [gpm] Battery failing to charge?????

Richard Hughes — 2011-12-07T13:40:46

Sure. Try taking the battery out of the machine and leaving it for 24
hours, although for a new battery it should just work.


If you leave it for 24 hours, does it ever go above 5%? Have you tried
to recalibrate the battery at all?

[gpm] Battery failing to charge?????

Peter Dzwig — 2011-12-07T13:32:36

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on an HP Pavilion dv2000. (FWIW I have got
gnome compatibility mode set).

My old battery was severely the worse for wear. I replaced it and the
new one failed to charge properly. I sent that one back and got another.
This one too appears to charge poorly. The first one I could understand
is might be faulty, but two??

To be specific, it appears not to take charge when coupled to a power
source via is AC adapter.

At the present Indicator Applet 0.4.12 says "Battery charged" yet when I
click on where is says "Laptop Battery charged" and go to percentage it
says that it is only 4.7% charged. This is confirmed (??) if I pull out
the AC coupler when it says that the battery is discharging and only has
5% power left.

Installation was via Synaptic

Dbus: 1.4.6-1ubuntu6.1
Kernel 2.6.35um-0ubuntu-1
GPM version 2.32.0-2ubuntu2.1

Raw kernel info and gconftool as per attached

Help??

Re: [gpm] No default setting for screen brightness

Richard Hughes — 2011-12-07T12:39:09

Right, in GNOME3 we don't save a startup brightness anymore. That
might be a bug, I'm not sure. For a lot of laptops the brightness is
set to 100% on boot and then seeing it drop at login does seem a bit
odd. Ideally we could set this at system start time.


At the moment, no. The main problem is that we need to use xrandr for
a lot of hardware, and that's only going to work when X is running, so
in GDM at the earliest. I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks,

Richard.

[gpm] brightness controls lock up keyboard

jan matejek — 2011-11-24T15:15:33

hello,

I'm trying to fix a problem with my laptop that has been bothering me for
over a year now. There was a simple workaround in gnome2, but it no longer
works in gnome3, so any advice would be appreciated.

The problem is, there is some sort of a feedback loop on my laptop (MSI
PR200) in that setting display brightness by software generates an evdev
input event in the keyboard device. Similar thing apparently happens on
Samsung N130 series with samsung-backlight module, see [1].
Gnome-power-manager, or its equivalent on GNOME3, cannot handle the
situation and gets stuck in what I presume is a sorcerer's-aprentice mode,
reacting to events that result from its own actions. Sometimes this
feedback loop stops (my guess is a race condition), but that can take ten
or more minutes.
While this is happening, Xorg eats 100% CPU and keyboard mostly doesn't
work (all the normal key events are presumably spammed out by the
brightness events). In gnome2, this was also accompanied by unpleasant
backlight flicker. This

Russ Dill — 2011-11-14T17:56:50

Searching around, I see this is a very old on again, off again bug. It
seems to be on again. My laptop decided to hibernate yesterday when
one battery was full, and the other battery critical. My system (when
charged) looks like this:
