Description Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2006-01-05 15:37:46 UTC 
version: 0.3.1-0ubuntu4

gnome-power-manager popups annoying dialogs when unplugging the AC or when the  battery ends up being fully charged. This is rather intrusive.

gnome-power-manager should use a less intrusive way to notify these events.
Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2006-01-05 15:42:04 UTC 
If you install CVS, you can change the value of /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify/ac_adapter to disable the ac_adapter warning.
See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176433

I will do a similar key (such as /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify/fully_charged) for the other case.

Other than disabling, what else would you suggest?
Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2006-01-05 16:21:08 UTC 
You can now toggle /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify/fully_charged in CVS.
Comment 3 Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2006-01-05 16:37:48 UTC 
using libnotify?
Comment 4 Richard Hughes 2006-01-05 16:40:43 UTC 
Erm.. It already does, or at least should do. I wonder if the ubuntu package builds libnotify support in -- See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-power-manager/ for what it should look like.

Comment 5 Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2006-01-05 17:11:58 UTC 
it is build with                                 

--without-gconf-source --enable-libnotify

so yes it is supposed to use it. There is no distro patch either.
Comment 6 Richard Hughes 2006-01-05 17:53:07 UTC 
Do you get any libnotify events? Have you tried this with CVS g-p-m?
Could you also check that ./configure lists libnotify support please.
Comment 7 Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2006-01-11 17:10:43 UTC 
I can't build CVS because it requires libhal 0.5.6. I only have 0.5.5.1 installed and I'm not gonna messup right now.

As for 0.3.1, here is the configure output:

Could you try with the recently released 0.3.4 compiled from source please, many thanks.

Comment 10 Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2006-01-18 04:09:18 UTC 
0.3.4 has been built problem has been fixed. I suspect some distro patches.
Comment 11 Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2006-01-23 17:35:26 UTC 
actually it works. And the problem was probably related to the ubuntu packaging
