Gnome power management?
Hi, I'm am very new to OpenBSD. I managed to get gnome installed, but the gnome power management menu option seems to be missing. Is there a package I still need to install to get this functionality?
Code:
# pkg_info -a | grep gnome gnome-applets2-2.30.0p2 applets for use with the GNOME panel gnome-applets2-battstat-2.30.0p0 GNOME applet for monitoring battery level gnome-audio-2.22.2p2 audio files for GNOME gnome-backgrounds-2.30.0 wallpapers for GNOME gnome-common-2.28.0 common automake macros for GNOME gnome-control-center-2.30.1p0 GNOME control center gnome-desktop-2.30.2p0 components for the GNOME desktop gnome-doc-utils-0.20.1 collection of documentation utilities for the GNOME project gnome-icon-theme-2.30.3 base icon theme for GNOME gnome-keyring-2.30.3p0 password agent for the GNOME project gnome-media-2.30.0p0 GNOME media utilities gnome-menus-2.30.2p0 implementation of the FreeDesktop Desktop Menu Spec gnome-mime-data-2.18.0p2 MIME and Application database for GNOME gnome-nettool-2.30.0p0 GNOME interface for various networking tools gnome-panel-2.30.2p2 GNOME panel gnome-screensaver-2.30.0p2 screen saver and locker for GNOME gnome-session-2.30.2p3 GNOME session gnome-settings-daemon-2.30.2p1 GNOME settings daemon gnome-system-monitor-2.28.1p3 sytem monitor for GNOME gnome-terminal-2.30.2p0 GNOME terminal gnome-themes-2.30.2 themes collection for GNOME gnome-user-docs-2.30.1 general GNOME User Documentation gnome-utils-2.30.0p0 GNOME utility programs gnome-vfs2-2.24.3p0 GNOME Virtual File System libgnome-2.30.0p0 libraries for the GNOME project libgnome-keyring-2.30.1p0 library for gnome keyring integration libgnomecanvas-2.30.1p1 graphics library for GNOME libgnomecups-0.2.3p7 GNOME library for CUPS interaction libgnomekbd-2.30.2p0 keyboard configuration library libgnomeprint-2.18.7p0 printing framework for GNOME libgnomeprintui-2.18.5p1 user interface components for libgnomeprint libgnomeui-2.24.3p2 user interface components for GNOME libsoup-gnome-2.30.2 GNOME specific libsoup parts polkit-gnome-0.96p0 PolicyKit integration for GNOME/GTK+2 py-gnome-2.28.1p1 GNOME Python bindings py-gnome-desktop-2.30.2p0 Python bindings for the GNOME desktop |

A lot of additional features that many Linux users may be accustomed to are not portable across other Unix-like operating systems.
Graphical power management applications are among them. |

My specific problem: OpenBSD allows me to install gnome-screensaver, which is great, because I like my screen to be showing cool graphics when I am not using the computer. However, after the screen saver comes on, something (Gnome? OpenBSD?) eventually shuts the monitor off. This saves energy but defeats the purpose of having cool screen savers. Normally I'd go to the gnome-power-management interface and just adjust a setting to prevent the monitor from powering itself off. |

So you want to control monitor power settings? that's entirely different, Xorg is usually capable of handling that independently of the OS.
You could add the following to your .xinitrc/.xsession file: Code:
... /usr/X11R6/bin/xset s off /usr/X11R6/bin/xset -dpms ... For other power management functionality from userland, the apmd(8) daemon accompanied by the apm(8) utility can be used to manage ACPI/APM, for a laptop, there is a sysctl to control lid behaviour. |

I do not believe that is what the OP was asking, they were specifically asking about Linux power management features exposed by Gnome.
