yeah, I wanted to test it before pushing it down to F21 but never got around to it. I will update in the next couple of days. Thanks for the report.
(In reply to Mukundan Ragavan from comment #1) > I will update in the next couple of days. Cool. I'll update as soon as it's available in testing. I've you like me to do some tests, let me know. > Thanks for the report. Thanks for your support :)
Can you please check out this scratch build and see if everything works fine? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9491511
Can't find the RPM: I used: koji latest-build --all f21|grep xfce4-power xfce4-power-manager-1.4.1-3.fc21 f21 nonamedotc and: koji list-pkgs --tag f21 --owner nonamedotc|grep xfce4-power It's the first time I'm using koji, but I can't see my mistake here. Any advice?
That's probably because it's a scratch build ... I think ... :( You may have to download it manually.
Oh, I missed the fact the RPMs are simple downloadable, sorry for the confusion. However the packages requires xfce4-panel >= 4.12, while latest version from default repositories is 4.10.1: sudo yum upgrade -q -y && rpm -qa|grep panel xfce4-panel-4.10.1-6.fc21.x86_64
Quick check on the upstream requirements: Required packages ================= Xfce Power Manager depends on the following packages: [...] - libxfce4panel 4.10.0 or above (optional, for the Xfce panel plugin). - lxdepanel 0.5.6 or above (optional, for the LXDE panel plugin). [...] (README from http://archive.xfce.org/src/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/1.4/xfce4-power-manager-1.4.4.tar.bz2)
Hi Woi, sorry about the delay on this. I am in the middle of software/hardware upgrade here at home. I will build this tomorrow or the day after properly. My apologies for the slow movement on this bug. :(
Thanks for letting me know. Enjoy your new stuff :)
Ok, I am back "alive and kicking". :) Please try this. I think it works fine but would appreciate some testing before I build it for good. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9541786 Thanks.
Hey Mukundan, Thx for the RPMs. I was able to install the x86_64 without problems on a VirtualBox VM and on real hardware (Thinkpad T60). I couldn't observe any problems in day to day use in the last three days. However three things caught my eye: 1) The systray icon sometimes shows mouse over notifications on the top right, while I have configured notifications for the bottom right. All other notifications and mouse overs behave as expected. This includes the power manager plugin. 2) While settings can be reached with a left click on the power manager plugin, the systray icon requires a right click and does nothing on a left click. 3) Last but not least: The systray icon does not show up by default. Thus the update is not fixing the "fedora specific bug, where there is no battery icon by default in Fedora 21 Xfce" (see my bug description above for details). However we could fix this with shipping a /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml to enable it by default. Some additional notes: * The systray icon has no "show if on battery only" option. It either enabled or disabled * I currently don't have access to a desktop system. Both VirtualBox VMs an my Thinkpad have a battery. So I have no idea how the update behaves on a desktop system.

Comment on attachment 1019056 [details] Enable xfce4-power-manager try icon as system wide default Content needs to be put in: /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml
Alright, now that I know this works, I will go ahead and build it and add the xml file (after a little more digging). Thanks a lot for testing and apologies for the delays.
Yes, I agree with going ahead with packaging. To my mind the issues are just small usability issues. Regarding the trayicon default setting: I just created https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11874 I think this would cover all our needs, no matter if running on a desktop, a battery powered laptop or a laptop on AC. And please share your insights after digging :-)
xfce4-power-manager-1.4.4-1.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xfce4-power-manager-1.4.4-1.fc21
Woi - just a note, I have updated this but have not added the system wide default patch - yet ...
I just did a distrosync and tried to install from update-testing. But for some reason yum can't find it: > $ sudo yum install xfce4-power-manager --enablerepo=updates-testing > Loaded plugins: langpacks > Package xfce4-power-manager-1.4.2-1.fc21.x86_64 already installed and latest version > Nothing to do The usual things like yum clean all don't help. I'll try again these days. Maybe the mirrors aren't synced yet.
Finally it got synced to the mirrors. Just installed it on two systems: one running x86_64 and one 686. I'll report back in a few days
No issues with the build from update-testing after 2 days . I just left positive karma. Thanks for your work and support :) Woi
xfce4-power-manager-1.4.4-1.fc21 has been pushed to the Fedora 21 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Friendly reminder. Version 1.5.0 is released and already built for Fedora 22. Please get it into testing, also for Fedora 21. Please notice: We have a lot of bug reports that needs to be tested for regression. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=638971
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
