Slackware :: Missing Xfce4-power-manager Icons In Xfce 4.8

Jun 25, 2011

I'm using Slackware64 13.37 with Robby's Xfce 4.8 build on a laptop with two batteries. I've noticed that when the charge for one battery is depleted, the empty battery icon for the xfce4-power-manager panel applet is displayed as an "image missing" icon (see the attachments for screenshots of how this progresses).

Is this just down to a missing image, or is it more subtle than that? Has anyone else had the same problem, and if so how did you fix it? So far I've tried clearing the GTK+ icon cache and reinstalling the hicolor icon theme package as suggested in other threads in this forum, but nothing changed.

Hardware :: Xfce Power Manager - Message Box Opens Up With The Error?

Feb 2, 2010

I am running Slackware 13 (64 bit) and when Xfce starts up, a message box opens up with the error:

Quote:

Xfce power manager. Unable to read AC adapter status, the power manager will not work properly. Possible reasons: The AC adapter driver is not loaded, broken connection with the hardware abstract layer or the message bus daemon is not running.

dbus-daemon is running, so according to the error message the problem must be the AC adapter driver is not loaded, or broken connection with the hardware abstract layer.

Ubuntu :: Power Manager Doesn't Show Remaining Battery Hours

Dec 10, 2010

I've had this problem for a while and have eagerly awaited a fix, but have not received one. But the problem is when I'm either charging or on battery and I would click on the power manager the menu that pops up shows me the percentage of life remaining but does not give me any indication of how long I have until my battery is dead/fully charged.If I were to open up the Power Statistics window there is no information time to full or time to empty. Both are just empty.

Debian Multimedia :: Dual Screen / XFCE - Only One Turns Off (power Management)

Feb 7, 2016

On a fresh install of Debian 8 with XFCE (with a NVIDIA GeForce 210 according to lspci, and a P7P55D Asus mainboard), I just added a second monitor. This second monitor does not switches off even though the first one does due to the Screensaver Preferences → Advanced → Off After 3 minutes.

The new screen is a HP Pavilion 25xw plugged in using a HDMI cord.

The old screen is a Philips 190S plugged in using a VGA cord.

The new screen (HP on HDMI) only goes blank when the old one (Philips VGA) turns off.

Two tests:

- on the same machine, I also have Windows XP: both screens turns off at the same time with the power management.
- I tried on Debian: Code: Select allsleep 5 && xrandr --output  HDMI-1 –off

It turns off the second monitor, so I know that it is possible to turn it off from my Debian.

How to set up the system so that both monitors power off when the machine is not used?

Slackware :: Xfce4-power-manager-1.0.1 And No Battery Options

Oct 17, 2010

I noticed that there is a 1.0.1 version of xfce4-power-manager, so I tried it out last night. Note: It requires libxfce4ui >= 4.7. I compiled it using the same SlackBuild script as the one in Slackware 13.1. It compiled and installed just fine. However, when I logged out of XFCE and logged back in, I could only set a few options, and battery options were completely non-existant.

I double-checked, and my user account in in the power group. Has anyone else had a similar problem? In the meantime, I've downgraded back to the 0.8.5 version that Slackware ships with.

Slackware :: XFCE: Blank Screen On Login

Aug 17, 2010

When she wants to log into xfce, there is only a blank screen. The cursor shows, but there is no way to go any further. No panel, buttons or background.

However, she is able to log in using XDMPC from a local computer without a problem.

There are the processes active under both settings.

Direct login

Quote:

xfce4-session
xfconfd
xfwm4
xfsettingsd
xfce4-settings-

[Code].....

Questions:
What may have caused xfce not to load some modules on log in? How to fix it, to allow a normal login? How to prevent this problem in the future?

Ubuntu :: Sony Vaio VGN / Screen Is Too Bright

May 2, 2010

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ340E. I installed Ubuntu about 6 months ago and had a problem-free time with it. I then got busy with other stuff (house work, etc.) and hadn't worked on Ubuntu for about a month. Now I switch on my Vaio with Ubuntu and I find the screen is just too bright.Since 10.04 was just coming up, I thought this would be fixed when I update. I updated, but the screen is still too bright.

I searched the forum for answers and found only some pretty old threads which were about the Fn key combos (which, obviously, doesn't work), spicctrl, etc.So I followed the instructions here. I did just what Step 1: Checking for Module says, but Terminal just doesn't give any output.

Ubuntu :: Slim Login Manager Not Recovering From Screen Power Save?

I have created a custom linux distro originating from the ubuntu server edition and have slim as the login manager, and openbox as the window manager. When it goes into power save mode and turns off the monitor and I move the mouse to wake it up it just goes to the shell with a mouse cursor on it. How can I get it to go right back to the openbox window manager?

Software :: Gnome-power-manager Missing After PC-crash - Screen Froze?

Jan 14, 2010

Last week I upgraded my Ubuntu 8.04 to a 8.10. While my ever so loyal machine was performing this business, I started my diner, once in a while having a quick look at how things were going. And they were going fine. The last thing I noticed on the screen was that upgrading was at about 3 minutes from finishing, and when I got back to my PC I was confronted with a black screen. Later on I found out that the reason for the crash was a malfunctioning USB-hub in which my mouse was located.

Anyway, I couldn't get my Ubuntu running, the only thing I got to do was reach the log-in screen, enter my username and password, after which the screen froze. Typing CTRL+ALT+F1 gave me a terminal window, but I had no clue what to go looking for or where/how I could find it.

In the mean time I re-partitioned the HD (75GB), placed the old Ubuntu on a 30GB partition and gave the other 45GB to a new partition on which I re-installed my Ubuntu 8.04. Working from that partition I was able to find out that the old version had indeed upgraded to 8.10 but was missing the <gnome-power-manager> file.

My question now: If I can in any way restore that missing file or point me out some kind of tutorial where I can learn how to do it?

Untill now I have been looking through about a few hundred tutorials, but most of them are written by people who know the terminal inside-out, and frankly are not really easily understandable for newbies.

The fact is: in that old version I have many maps and files which I would like to save (yes, you are completely right: I should have saved them in the first place!) but some of them are for some reason write-protected and I do not know how to get root-priviliges to un-lock them.

Ubuntu :: Laptop Screen Blooms To Bright White After Waking From Suspend?

Mar 14, 2010

I am having problems with my wuxga 1900x1200 laptop display.The machine is a Dell inspiron 8600 with nvidia chipset.I am running driver 175 from the Karmic repo. My problem is when the machine wakes up after a suspend, the display blooms to bright white.The only way I have found to recover is power off the machine. After a bit of research I suspect it may be the refresh rates in xorg.conf, but lowering the values has not changed anything. Here is what I have currently.

Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder75) Wed Jan 27 03:02:48 PST 2010[code]....

orig values were horiz 30-128 and vert 50-90.I'm not sure it's the refresh...

Debian Multimedia :: Xfce4-power-manager Doesn't React To Power Button / Fix It?

Jun 4, 2010

I use Squeeze with Xfce. My problem is that recently (after the xfce updates) the xfce power manager doesnt react to the power button - it is set to suspend. I dont have gnome-power manager or anything like it running.
If i reboot the computer, the power button will work but if i suspend and resume, it doesnt work again.
The computer is built on an Asus M3N78-VM mobo (2GB RAM/Athlon3200+ single core).

acpi_listen detects the button press.

Any thoughts?

Debian :: Optical Drives Don't Show Up Unless Boot With Media - Then They Disappear

Aug 8, 2010

I have two optical drives (not SATA) that previously showed up as /dev/hda and /dev/hdb. No longer. I see no mention of them in fstab and catting all the /dev/dvd /dev/cd... /dev/sr.. turns up nothing. If I place a disk with info in the drive nothing appears anywhere I can see (not in dmesg).

K3b tells me no devices found. wodim tells me Detected CD-R drive: /dev/sr1 wodim: Cannot do inquiry for CD/DVD-Recorder. Errno: 5 (Input/output error), test unit ready scsi sendcmd: fatal error CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00 cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 40s (These are not SATA drives.) I noticed rebooting will show drives if there is media in there. However, that disappears after a while as well. Then inserting and reinserting cdroms gives no messages in dmesg.

Ubuntu :: Disabling Screensaver And Power Management In XFCE?

Jul 22, 2011

Because Ubuntu 11.04 is a bit heavy for the capabilities of my older desktop hardware, I am in the process of switching over to Xubuntu 11.04 going forward. I found the "sleep inhibit applet" very useful when I was using the Gnome DE, and was searching for a replacement in XFCE that doesn't require installing a bunch of Gnome libraries. I found a description of "caffeine" as a utility that seems to be what I'm looking for, but when I added the caffeine ppa to my repositories, and select it for installation in Synaptic, it wants to add a long list of Gnome-related components. Is there any quick way to temporarily disable the screensaver and power management functions in XCFE that doesn't depend on Gnome?

Ubuntu :: Too Many Power Managers (gnome - Xfce And Jupiter) - Overheating

Jun 23, 2011

Following a discussion on the Asus forum on overheating, [URL] , I find that my netbook is running three power managers simultaneously: gnome, xfce and jupiter. How do I disable (not uninstall) these one by one, so that I can identify the most efficient manager by elimination? Back story: my observation posted in the Asus forum was that Lucid runs several degrees hotter than XP on my 1005HA machine, which is a dual boot.
