[02:04] <cpsalvestrini> Hi
[02:04] <cpsalvestrini> I have a question
[02:05] <cpsalvestrini> how can i make my pc run with the performance governor while it's plugged to ac power and with the ondemand governor while it's running on batteries?
[02:07] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: gnome-power-manager is your friend ;)
[02:08] <cpsalvestrini> ok let me look for it on synaptic...
[02:09] <cpsalvestrini> o wait... i already have it, but i have to manually assign governors when i change from battery to AC
[02:13] <cpsalvestrini> heloo? ne1?
[02:15] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: there is an option in the applet: you can say: when I'm on battery, I want this, an when AC, I want that :)
[02:18] <cpsalvestrini> ummm... ive tried, there is no such an option... looking @ prefs right now
[02:20] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: please, type my nick when you write ;)
[02:20] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: which ubuntu version do you have?
[02:21] <cpsalvestrini> pochu, i have edgy eft
[02:21] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: ok, do you have the g-p-m in the applet?
[02:22] <cpsalvestrini> pochu: yes, i do, it's a battery
[02:22] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: right click>preferences
[02:22] <pochu> then: On AC power | On Battery Power :)
[02:22] <pochu> that's all :)
[02:23] <cpsalvestrini> pochu, i have it as you say, but my governor is still ondemand
[02:23] <cpsalvestrini> even when i plug in the ac cord
[02:24] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: don't know. maybe you should restart... maybe it doesn't work fine in edgy
[02:24] <pochu> I use Feisty :D
[02:24] <cpsalvestrini> pochu i hear you
[02:28] <cpsalvestrini> that's precisely why i wanted to make a script that i can daemonize to properly detect my ac adaptor state and switch governors for me
[02:30] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: which laptop do you have?
[02:30] <cpsalvestrini> pochu, i got a toshiba satellite
[02:30] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: tri "acpi -V" and look if the output is right
[02:31] <pochu> with AC and with battery
[02:31] <pochu> and see if the charge level works fine
[02:31] <pochu> however, I think g-p-m doesn't use acpi
[02:31] <pochu> but I'm not sure
[02:31] <pochu> I didn't get g-p-m working well with Edgy
[02:32] <pochu> now with Feisty it works very better :)
[02:32] <cpsalvestrini> lol good for you pochu
[02:32] <pochu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=laptop+toshiba+satellite&titlesearch=T%C3%ADtulos
[02:33] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: look for your model
[02:33] <pochu> maybe you can find some trips there
[02:33] <pochu> :)
[02:35] <cpsalvestrini> ok pochu i found a model close to mine
[02:35] <cpsalvestrini> my battery charge is working properly
[02:36] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: with g-p-m?
[02:36] <cpsalvestrini> no, with the acpi -V
[02:36] <pochu> oh
[02:36] <pochu> that's fine
[02:36] <pochu> but does g-p-m show the battery level fine?
[02:36] <pochu> both when charging and when running with battery
[02:37] <cpsalvestrini> yeah it does pochu
[02:37] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: wooh!
[02:37] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: you are lucky :)
[02:37] <cpsalvestrini> but i think that somewhere along the way g-p-m forgets to switch governors
[02:38] <pochu> cpsalvestrini: you can try to run it in a terminal: maybe then you will see any error messabe
[02:38] <pochu> message*
[02:39] <cpsalvestrini> pochu, no error msg
[02:39] <pochu> "gnome-power-manager --verbose"
[02:39] <pochu> did you do "--verbose"?
[02:41] <cpsalvestrini> pochu i did
[02:41] <pochu> ok
[02:41] <cpsalvestrini> i think i found something @ forums
[02:42] <pochu> that's fine
[02:42] <pochu> is it useful?
[02:42] <pochu> sure it will be better than me ;)
[02:44] <cpsalvestrini> i think, let me try
[03:04] <cpsalvestrini> yay! done pochu
[03:04] <cpsalvestrini> now it works like i want :)
[03:05] <cpsalvestrini> well im off
