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.
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.
btw - If you want to test the interaction without waiting to run your batteries all the way down you can do this (I tested this on SLED12 that has the new upower) jump onto battery and then see how much estimated time you have left. For this lets say 2 hours (7200 seconds) set the times to be slightly lower than your current time left gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-low 7000 gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-critical 6800 gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-action 6600 Just make sure after testing you remember to set these back to real values or be ticked off when you queue up some stuff to look at, unplug and then watch in horror as your system happily shuts down when it drops below these high values a few minutes into the commute home :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
