Hey David, did we ever get a fix for the powersave issue? I just added 11.4/KDE3 to my laptop and the lack of the power meter is a pain as you mentioned......
Debating going back to 11.0 and giving up on newer versions.......11.0 still does everthing i need. Althought 11.4 does seems to use slightly less RAM
Larry, Never did. Honestly, I haven't checked in a while. I'm on my 11.4/kde3 laptop right now - still no kpowersave battery icon in the tray. Clicking on kmenu -> System -> Desktop -> kpowersave launches and restores the icon to systray. The "battery meter" is working, but looks like it needs to configure itself again to know the proper time left. I think that will happen automatically during the first batter cycle. I needed to configure kpowersave to start on login again. Configure kpowersave -> General Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Autostart [X] KPowersave starts automatically on login. Looks like Ilya worked a bit more magic and got it working again. Great job Ilya. I don't know if this is the old kpowersave or if this is upower with the kpowersave interface on it -- can you fill us in Ilya? Regardless, it seems to be working again. HTH Larry.

Bummer :(
How will I know if my laptop battery is about to run out?
Can you do:
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT#/*
? Replace # with 0 or 1.
That's how I keep an eye on my battery on my old Thinkpad because it reports incorrectly, so it tries to shutdown with 50% power so I have to kill powersaved to keep using it.
I open a small terminal and use watch with the above command.
Thanks Larry,
That will work in the interim until we get a fix in Trinity. Robert, you know anything about this in Trinity?
Yes, hence the move to upower upcoming as soon as cmake is done.
You da man... :p

I found this thread today after updating my laptop to OpenSuSE 11.4 with KDE3. Although I had kpowersave installed and in the autostart folder in .kde, it didn't start until I enabled haldaemon in system settings in Yast. -- Robert Smits bob@rsmits.ca I admire him, I frankly confess it; and when his time comes I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.

Strangely enough, when I booted the laptop up, kpowersave is now working on kde3. I have no idea why. I haven't done an update in a couple of days either. DUH! I enabled hal in yast's runlevels. That's it I bet. It wasn't enabled so I started it. I wonder if that's why X got messed up and kdm no longer autostarts.

11.4
All should work without any problem. I did not do any changes to hal or kpowersave in 11.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org
