acpi-support does support running scripts on lid clode. It does not notify a "battery critical" event though. Maybe that functionality could be added to acpid and thus to acpi-support? Does it require polling?
GNU/Linux, not just Ubuntu, needs one single framework for powermanagement, be that acpi, or HAL or laptop_mode, or whatever. One framework with hooks for various programs is the way to go. I think we can agree on that, at least at design level. Do we? Also a full powermanagement solution requires: disk standby, processor frequencies; panel brightness, services start/stop, actions on critical battery level, different configuration profiles, etc... ...and we are far away from that: gnome-power-preferences uses HAL, acpi-support uses acpid, laptop_mode does by itself, as well as other things. It's a real mess. -- power.sh: wrong laptop_mode activation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89269 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
