[Bug 604635] Re: [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant
Chris, with our recent move to almost-pure-upstream builds I figure adding a screensaver/session inhibitor is something that we should get upstream to do. Can you please forward those two (firefox/chromium) to upstream bugs and discuss it there? I guess it's just adding a D-Bus call on starting the first download and ending the last? ** Also affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Also affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged -- [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604635 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

I tested this on current lucid with totem and Rhythmbox. It works as it should with totem, i. e. when playing a movie, the idle and suspend timeouts are inhibited, but closing the lid always works. The Rhythmbox plugin works fine as well. One potentially debatable issue is that inhibits the idle timeout, instead of the suspend one, so while playing music the screensaver and DPMS standby never get active. I suppose this is meant for party mode where you want to see the playlist, or the goom visualizer, etc. I propose to leave it like it is for now. -- [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604635 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

Most movies in browsers is via Flash, which browsers don't get a lot of insight into. I think we can tell that Flash is iterating its main loop but not whether it's painting or just running a timer; full-screened Flash creates its own window out of our control. I think this means we can't control power management for this primary use case. (HTML5 video could definitely be fixed, and I'd be happy to review a patch to do it, but realistically HTML5 video isn't very common yet.) A coworker proposed a hack that, after reflection, I think is actually pretty good: the compositing manager has ultimate knowledge of what's getting dirtied on your screen. A heuristic like if something in a region at least X by Y is repainting regularly don't sleep would probably get you pretty far without needing to change every app. -- [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604635 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

Jerone, that's about as far as we can push it from the distro side.

[Bug 604635] Re: [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant
@Martin Pitt Thanks Martin! I would agree. That does lesson the work needed. As I mentioned Activating sleep after 30 minutes is potentially has potential impact on machines that do not suspend well, as well as potential user experience issues. With what Mario mentioned I would say that if a Desktop is having issues with suspend, the preferred method would be to have the defaults be energy star compliant (suspend after 30min inactivity), and we would then do something to basically change the suspend setting so for that machine we wouldn't suspend. Essentially breaking the energy star compliance. Though we can wait to see what the response upstream is toward energy start compliance. Would like to follow more given upstream even perhaps UX team community input. ** Changed in: oem-priority Status: Incomplete = In Progress -- [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604635 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

To add some more comments. Thinking about the 30 minute suspsend when idle more. Off the top of my head I can think of some use cases that can be impacted by this: * A long download via firefox or chromium * watching a movie or listening to music Though a solution seems to this already exist. I know that totem has the ability to tell gnome-power-manager that the it is busy so don't do anything automatically. This would also be something that firefox or chromium could have as well when they are downloading content. I was also told that Transimmision Bittorrent Client has the same logic to prevent gnome-power-manager from automatically like suspend when it is running. Not sure if they are reporting the system not being idle or something else. But I believe it's all done over dbus. -- [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604635 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

transmission has the option to inhibit suspend when downloading, but i think that preference is off by default. Totem creates an idle inhibitor when watching movies.

So, if I could restate the request a bit: Goal: To have Ubuntu be Energy Star Compliant. Why?: Some customer tenders are beginning to list Energy Star Compliance as a requirement, therefore the OEMs must have an Energy Star compliant OS in order to respond to these tenders. Implementation Options: 1) Make Ubuntu's default settings comply with Energy Star requirements: * Put display to Sleep within 15 minutes of user inactivity when on A/C - Currently this is set to 30 min. * Activate computer's Sleep mode within 30 minutes of user inactivity when on A/C. - Currently this is set to never Cons: These settings may not be a desirable default for the majority of users 2) Add a new option to Gnome Power Management to toggle both settings at once with a checkbox: Enable Energy Star Power Mode or somesuch. I'm guessing the best place for that toggle would be under the General tab instead of On AC Power or On DC Power. Cons: Requires UI changes that would likely need to be pushed upsteam. Also introduces new strings which would need to be translated. -- [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604635 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

The second option is basically adding support for profiles in g-p-m, which I think has already been rejected once before upstream (although I'm not completely certain about this). The first option would be really bad for machines such as my desktop, which are quite happy to suspend - but they always fail to resume. People with machines like this would be pretty annoyed to do a fresh install and then lose a bunch of work because the machine automatically suspended over their lunch break or something Couldn't you just ship a custom set of defaults for OEM machines? -- [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604635 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

As a close approximation of this, could we always have the DPMS mode after 15 minutes (instead of 30), and suspend after 30 only if we are on battery? Or only if we are a laptop, i. e. have a lid?

Re: [Bug 604635] Re: [Maverick] Have default settings be energy star 5.0 compliant
Checking that we are a laptop for the suspend after 30 would cover a majority of OEM enabled machines, so I think would definitely be a step in the right direction. For desktops that need the requirement then, it would only be a matter of setting a single gconf key.
