lxde/lubuntu and xfce power management seem to have this issue regardless of distro. Description xfce4-power-manager manages the power sources on the computer and the devices that can be controlled to reduce their power consumption (such as LCD brightness level, monitor sleep, CPU frequency scaling). Gnome power preferences provides a notify area icon, and lets you adjust the power managment settings used my gnome-power-manager. In the release candidate xfce power manager has been removed. xfce4-power-manager-settings is a utility that comes with the Xfce4 power manager to access/change its configuration. Notify area icons Both the Gnome and the Xfce4 place icons in the notify area - this will hopefully work in most or all panels, including tint2 and LXPanel. If you have GNOME installed on the same installation of Linux that you are using with Openbox (or if you don't mind installing a few GNOME dependencies) you can run gnome-power-manager - simply type or paste at the command prompt: xfce4-power-manager xfce4-power-manager appears to require fewer dependencies than gnome-power-manager. Plugging or unplugging an AC power adapter from a laptop.Pm-utils on the Arch wiki has configuration details.Īcpid is a flexible and extensible daemon for delivering ACPI events, including events triggered by:
Xfce4 power manager password#
(I was troubleshooting an issue with the laptop where it would lock up upon the display turning off.) Upon rebooting, the system behaves normally until a password is entered in the greeter. The name Xubuntu is a portmanteau of Xfce and Ubuntu. After unchecking 'Handle display power management' in Xfce Power Manager, the system locked up. There is a useful debugging tool which did indicate an issue with GDBus and PolicyKit. It also has display settings for on battery and plugged in that you can blank the display or suspend the system. Pm-utils gives shell commands such as pm-hibernate and pm-suspend. Xubuntu is a Canonical Ltd.recognized, community-maintained derivative of the Ubuntu operating system. My issue is xfce4 includes a plugin called xfce4-power-manager that you can use to set up time constraints to suspend the system.
