GNOME Power Manager
A Power Manager for GNOME
PackageKit
A dbus packaging abstraction layer
GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of
the Project Utopia stack, which includes the kernel, hotplug, udev, and HAL. GNOME
Power Manager listens for HAL events and responds with user-configurable reactions.
Currently it supports UPS's, laptop batteries and AC adapters. Its goal is to be
architecture neutral and free of polling and other hacks.
PackageKit is a dbus abstraction layer that allows the session user to do cool
stuff rather that worry about the underlying software package install system.
Most of the code is actually in HAL for abstracting various power aware devices
(UPS's) and frameworks (ACPI, PMU, APM etc.) - so the desktop parts are fairly
lightweight and straightforward to write.
For more information, please see http://live.gnome.org/PackageKit
GNOME Power Manager comes in three parts:
- gnome-power-manager: the manager daemon itself
- gnome-power-preferences: the control panel program, for configuration
- gnome-power-statistics: the statistics graphing program
To build, GNOME Power Manager requires
- libgnomeui-2.0
- libglade-2.0
- libhal-0 (from HAL 0.5.7 , 0.5.8 recommended)
- libdbus-1 (from D-BUS 0.70 or later)
- libdbus-glib-1 (from D-BUS 0.70 or later)
- libnotify (from 0.3.0 or later, 0.4.3 recommended)
To work properly, gnome-power-manager requires hald to be running.
