HOWTO: install gnome power manager 2.8.0.1

[lizardking]

I m frustated that my laptop is not controlled well by the power manager as in windows(tm) instead.
So I found the gnome power manager in the breezy repository..Unfortunatly it is a alpha release a 0.x.y. (don't remember exactly the number). But I remember the configuration is so small: you can edit nothing.
So If you wanto to get the fresh new gnome power manager you must:

• download the new package from dapper repo here
• install throught terminal typing
  

  sudo dpkg -i gnome-power-manager_0.2.8.1-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

• The go to System --> Settings --> POWER SETTINGS

and you have new package with advanced configuration...

The alpha version was working for me (Toshiba Satellite A45-S150) but this new one rocks! It doesn't have to sit there taking up space in my system tray like the old one did (though I usually leave it there anyway). Thank you very much!

[lizardking]

for me work but on my fujiutzu siemens amilo m 1425 I can view the esimated remaning time.
Some one could help me?

[varunus]

I just noticed that too...sometimes it shows time remaining for me, sometimes not. I'm guessing its just a bug, and will be fixed later...Maybe a bug report should be filed?

It looks good, but it's a shame that none of the toshiba l10 series notebooks has a working battery monitor

Thanks for this great info. I was looking for something like that. Great!

it seem to works well, but if "system power info" tells me:

"cpu frequency has not been integrated whit hal"

what about?
