Re: [Bug 399492] Re: Notifications when switching between AC/battery power should be improved
It's repeated twice because Gnome Power Manager doesn't just manage laptop batteries, but also manages phone, keyboard, mouse, UPS, and PDA batteries. The string originally used to say: "Laptop Battery Discharging" "Laptop battery discharging (%)" (because the other options are "UPS battery discharging", etc.) We changed it so that if you only have a laptop battery it would say: "Battery Discharging" "Laptop battery discharging (%)" If you have adequate power history or a battery that GPM could identify the amount of time left, you should also see the time remaining.

This is still an issue in Karmic. The notification says "Battery Discharging" "Laptop battery discharging (%)". There is very little value in such information (especially if it's repeated twice). ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Fix Committed => Triaged ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided => Medium -- Notifications when switching between AC/battery power should be improved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

upstream committed lots of string changes, including our string changes: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-power-manager/commit/?id=0bfe44b903dc12512c7e99579c35bbd62a331d28 The change when switching between AC/battery power was accepted as follows: title ="Battery Discharging" message = "Laptop battery 2 hours 5 minutes remaining (80%)" (message used to be "The AC power has been unplugged. The system is now using battery power.") -- Notifications when switching between AC/battery power should be improved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
