Feature changed by: Stefan Behlert (sbehlert) Feature #302446, revision 25 Title: Power consumption gauge openSUSE-11.0: Rejected by Gary Ekker (gekker) reject date: 2008-05-09 10:28:15 reject reason: Nothing done for 11.0. Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by JP Rosevear (jproseve) reject date: 2008-09-10 16:50:33 reject reason: Dependent feature not complete. Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable + Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Frank Seidel (fseidel) Description: Some kind of "power meter" would be good to have. It could be integrated into the system monitor applet or in kpowersave/gnome-power- manager (to be discussed). Its intent is to make the user aware when the system starts to hog power (e.g. after starting some bad behaving application that polls "expensive" hardware all the time). Some kind of "power meter" would be good to have. It could be integrated into the system monitor applet or in kpowersave/gnome-power-manager (to be discussed). Relations: - provide common source for a overall battery time information (feature/id: 303749) Documentation Impact: Needs to be documented Discussion: #1: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2008-02-01 11:56:22) In regards of Green IT theme for SLE 11 this sounds like useful thing. #2: Stefan Behlert (sbehlert) (2008-05-29 23:23:48) (reply to #1) Right.. #4: JP Rosevear (jproseve) (2008-06-02 13:52:01) Christian, can we actually aggregate power consumption information from somewhere? If so, getting a gui on top of it should be straight forward. #5: Christian Zoz (zoz) (2008-06-19 15:03:57) Power consumption information is only available when the system runs on battery. But i guess on ac-power this info is less interesting anyway. We can get this information via ACPI. Not really power consumption, but power drain of each battery. I suggest that hal can provide individual drain and aggregate overall power consumption. For that have a look at feature: #303749: provide common source for a overall battery time information #6: Rodrigo Moya (rodrigomoya) (2008-09-08 14:43:35) For gnome-power-manager, we already have something like this (right- click -> power history), it shows lots of information about powe consumption. Isn't this enough? #7: JP Rosevear (jproseve) (2008-09-10 16:49:55) Fate 303749 is not complete, so I think I have to reject this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/302446
