https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439647 Summary: Gnome power manager applet doesn't start Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: robin.listas@telefonica.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=248415) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=248415) Screenshot of new user default desktop openSUSE 11.1 Beta 3 The gnome power manager applet doesn't start, see attached photo. This means that users can not easily modify the default setting of automatic hibernation at 30 minutes and it will catch them unawares. Compliance to energy star states that instructions for this must be clearly labeled. Starting gnome-power-manager from a console does nothing. The user has to know to start gnome-power-preferences manually. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

gnome-power-preferences is in the control center.
And it starts, the icon just defaults to only being present if there is a battery.
Possibly, but it is the entry point to change the default auto-hibernate setting. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You can get them here: <http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/product_specs/program_reqsComputer_Spec_Final.pdf> For instance, it says: +++ User Information Requirement: In order to ensure that purchasers/users are properly informed on the benefits of power management, the manufacturer will include with each computer, one of the following: • Information on ENERGY STAR and the benefits of power management in either a hard copy or electronic copy of the user manual. This information should be near the front of the user guide; or • A package or box insert on ENERGY STAR and the benefits of power management. Either option must at least include the following information: • Notice that the computer has been shipped enabled for power management and what the time settings are; and • How to properly wake the computer from Sleep mode; ++- By hiding the control you are breaking the rules. As far as I know, you are not including the above information anywhere "in the box". AFAIK, a software product alone does not qualify as Energy Star compliant, anyway... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
