I am running this now and am pleased about the improvements I am seeing. Nothing revolutionary, but network management for wired connections seems improved, some visual improvements (somewhat approaching Android in terms of messages boxes, interestingly), a detail here, a detail there.
I just got back from GUADEC, I'm expecting us to see more tweaks and tunings in 3.14 and 3.16 in this area..they're still not happy with how notification works, though they seem pleased with the general direction of travel
However, I have not been able to run down batteries with two batteries installed to see whether upower/GNOME now cooperate more nicely, but may get a chance next week.
Please let us know how it goes
Is there a reason the system can't hibernate? the default behavior for critical battery power shortage is hibernate, which, while imperfect especially in your case, should at least result in work being maintained.
Firefox consumes so much (virtual) memory that my 2GB swap partition that I've had for a couple of years is not sufficient any more, now that my notebook features 8GB of RAM. With the right swap/suspend strategy that should be easily sufficient (I do not have > 2GB of dirty pages), but that's not a GNOME problem.
No, but the 'fix' is already in Factory (and I think it might have even shipped in 13.1) - YaST has a tickbox in the partitioner during installation to 'Expand Swap for Hibernate' That's no good for those of us who have it too small and who upgrade..but I guess you could get creative with shrinking partitions and creating a second swap partition to make up the difference
Noooow, a curious question: If, after the change above, I run
gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power critical-battery-action
that shows 'nothing' as expected. In the graphical settings, the Power module shows "When battery power is critical" "Power off", however.
Bug or "feature"?
I imagine "feature" - Settings modules can only show settings it's aware of (even if theres 'hidden' values in gsettings).. I did speak to somebody at GUADEC however who understood the problems this causes, I'm hoping we see changes in upcoming versions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
