Since (according to Javier) the org.gnome.power-manager icon-policy key has been abandoned, either this bug report is Invalid, or it should be used to track reimplementation of the setting (not necessarily with the same key name). The latter seems more useful.
** Description changed: In previous Ubuntu releases, the power menu has been hidden by default when the computer is fully charged. I'd like to see this continue for Ubuntu 11.10. gnome-power-manager includes a setting for when the Gnome Shell version of the battery menu should be shown. indicator-power should respect this setting but at the moment it appears to be ignored. To test: 1. Run this command to set the power menu to hide when the laptop is fully charged. gsettings set org.gnome.power-manager icon-policy charge 2. With a fully charged laptop, the menu should be hidden. Unplugging the laptop should cause the menu to appear and plugging the laptop back in should cause the menu to hide again (after the laptop is fully charged). + <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#Power_settings>: "At the bottom of the + “Power” panel of System Settings should be a “Show battery status in the + menu bar:” menu, with options “When battery is present”, “When battery + is charging/in use”, and “Never”. By default, the setting should be + “When battery is present”." + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: indicator-power 0.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-5.6-generic 3.0.0-rc7 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-5-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Jul 15 16:40:57 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) SourcePackage: indicator-power UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-06-17 (28 days ago) ** No longer affects: ayatana-design ** Changed in: indicator-power Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/811769 Title: Power Menu should respect icon-policy hide setting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/811769/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
