To avoid package-manager dependency, it could be a good idea to have an installation/deployment script to deploy repository in to the system.

This method could avoig tasks to generate all distros packages, reducing releases complexity and adding compatibility for non-debian distros (I use Manjaro BTW)

More over, developers will have an easy way to "test in production" before make any pullrequest (I want to collaborate Slimbook as developer BTW)

Hi, the window where preferences are set is too big to be displayed properly at 1366x768 displays. Buttons on the bottom are clickable, but I can't see what they say until I move the windows with a shortcut key (XFCE 4.14). Although, the most important issue is that the accept button does not do anything and it's impossible to save my changes. The old window worker better, this also seems a bit overstyled for my taste. Version that I have installed is 4.0.2

Describe the bug Since the update to version 4.0.4, the icon symbols do not show anymore. The app is still running fine. And there is a blank place where it should show the current setting. With the testing version https://github.com/slimbook/slimbookbattery/releases/tag/Test the problem is still there

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install and look in the app tray
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Xubuntu 21.10
• Version: 4.0.4
• Desktop Environment: Xfce

Screenshots In the center of the image is the "invisible" icon tray.

Hello, I install slimbookbattery on archlinux yesterday [ver.3.97beta-4] from AUR. Today I see upgrade to ver. 4.0.1-1 but cannot upgrade because package tlp-rdw<=1.3.1. I have last tlp and tlp-rdw installed [ver. tlp-rdw-1.4.0-1].

Regards, Przemek

Hello Slimbook team! I have been using your application for over a year now on my ubuntu 20.04 machine(14'' screen), recently with the new update, I am unable to select the options and slimbook seems to have no effect on my battery levels as you can see, I am unable to move the window or resize it to access "cancel", "Restore.." or "accept" options.

Hello,

I recently installed Slimbook Battery version 4.0.1-3 from the AUR on Arch Linux on a 2014 Lenovo z50-70 with an Intel i7-4510U (4) @ 2.100GHz. I get the following errors when running the application and clicking Accept:

I am not sure if this is a packaging issue and I should post in the AUR forum or if it's an issue with the application itself and I should post here, so forgive me if it was an issue with packaging.

Describe the bug Crashes on startup with the following message:

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3

Expected behavior (Optional) not to crash

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• GUI: Mate
• Theme: Ambiant-Mate

It seems that the application get the scheme colors from theme. In my scenario, the theme doesn't seems to get well with the app. It may be a good point to be able to switch between them scheme to app scheme.

Hi, thank you for the new version of Slimbook Battery. I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I have an issue, when I want to change le luminosity level of the 3 modes (saving/balanced/perofrmences), I click on "accept". Parameters aren't saving. When I launch again the advanced mode, I find the defaut parameters each time.

Describe the bug The slimbook battery installation breaks my grub boot menu. It replaces my linux mint with ubuntu from grub menu. I have tried to reinstall grub, but nothing works.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install LInux MInt
2. Login into LInux MInt
3. Install slimbook battery
4. restart the computer
5. LInux mint has been replaced by Ubuntu (broken)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux Mint
• Version: 21 (vanessa)
• Desktop Environment: CInnamon

Expected behavior (Optional) LInux MInt should not be replaced by Ubuntu from Grub. I should be able to login into LInux MInt from grub.

Error arises on system boot with "Crash report" prompt

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 pro 5850u

Screenshots

How can I fix it? I'd like to fix it myself with your guidance if you wish and make pull-request.

Describe the bug Powersaving and Balanced modes end up being more aggressive. Seems like the kernel changed something related to pstates, that may be causing the issue(?) https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/3be6ffd4946606c1929bf81b7fe3a91a57944955

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Update kernel through pacman
2. Reboot the system
3. Login
4. See error

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: EndeavourOS x86_64
• Desktop Environment: KDE

Expected behavior (Optional) Smooth running regardless of modes.

Screenshots Energy Saving & Balanced mode Maximum Performance Mode

Additional context Does the app need to be changed according to new config? I just wanted to report here at least if that's the case or there's some way we can get around it.

Originally posted by me in https://github.com/Slimbook-Team/slimbookbattery/issues/88#issuecomment-1305484243.

Since it was too off-topic for that issue, hence created a new one. This is a continuation of that conversation.

once you connect the ac, governor will switch to performance , and stop using the bat settings (1st column). You can check it with sudo tlp stat -p

It doesn't change when I connect AC. I will use monitor mode of auto-cpufreq to show this (since it uses an update loop and shows battery status).

I set energy saving mode, and the output is as below which is expected (ignore suggestion):

Now when I connect battery, the output is as below:

So it didn't change.

If I change the mode to maximum performance, the output still remains the same, because the 1st column settings don't apply when on AC:

Here is the max performance setting for reference:

Also, it seems the "Disable animation" switch has negative logic. If I turn it on, then animations are enabled. Maybe it was intended to be yes/no, but then implemented as a switch.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Turning off Slimbook Battery (SBAT henceforth) doesn't restore my previous TLP settings and neither does it turn it on. I expected SBAT to pass control to TLP solely when I turn SBAT off, rather than stop power management in the laptop altogether.

Describe the solution you'd like Turn on TLP and restore old config when I turn off SBAT.

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually restoring from backup and running sudo tlp start.

Additional context I also had set some settings in TLP which SBAT maybe seems to override, like disabling radio devices like BT on startup. I think it should not do that, there is more power saving in them disabled on start, and since it is set by user, high performance should not enable it either (it doesn't depend on it anyways).

On Mageia 8 (which normally behaves quite same as on any other rpm distro) uninstalling the rpm gives the following error output:

Entfernen des Pakets slimbookbattery-4.0.5beta-2.noarch 1/1: slimbookbattery-4.0.5beta-2.noarch wird entfernt ########################################################################################################Warnung: Verzeichnis /: Entfernen fehlgeschlagen: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt

which means it would have deleted "/" if it would not be in use!

be warned!

Describe the bug when opening the app, we get a message box to ask a root password

To Reproduce Open the app or change the config

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Manjaro
• Version: 22.0.0 Sikaris
• Desktop Environment: cinamon

Expected behavior (Optional) No password

Screenshots (lazy, sorry)

Additional context I have found the fix : The issue is that polkit does not found /usr/bin/slimbookbattery-pkexec because it is on /usr/sbin on Manjaro. So, to solve the issue, please check if slimbookbattery-pkexec is in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin (or run a "which slimbookbattery-pkexec"). Then update /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.pkexec.slimbookbattery.policy
