I'm running 12.10 with xmonad.
Trying to ensure that the right things happen when I close laptop lid, etc. I see Internet search results for similar issues that mostly point towards gnome-power-manager. I have the package installed, but gnome-power-manager
is not in my path anywhere.
The behavior I'm looking for is as following:
- Sleep on lid close
- Awaken on lid open
- Turn off screen after 10 idle minutes
- Most importantly, have better battery life. I'm supposed to be getting 9 hours and I haven't seen the battery life estimate above 2.5 hours yet.
Any tips on where to look or how to configure this would be much appreciated.
