Description Fernando Miguel 2009-04-08 13:42:58 UTC 
With all the talk about mobility one thing as been forgotten:
Power Manager Profiles.

An user can have the same PC/laptop/netbook at Home, Office, On The Road, etc

All of those require different sets of power management.
I can leave my PC at Home suspend when I'm away for more then 30 min, but at the Office I may want it always on for VoIP incoming calls.
At home its darker and I need more LCD bright, while at the office, I'm close to the window, so I need extra light, where as On The Road I need it at 100%.

Having an option on GPM-preferences, and even better, at FUSA would be great.

We've discussed this before, and I don't think it's a good idea at all. Sorry.
Comment 2 Fernando Miguel 2009-04-08 16:09:52 UTC 
any logs on this, please?

What was the result rational?

How is an user supposed to manage location based power management?
