2.10 Controlling Your Desktop's
Power Management
GNOME Power Manager is a session daemon for the GNOME desktop that manages
the power settings for your laptop or desktop computer. When running on battery, the
GNOME Power Manager displays a battery icon showing the battery state in the panel.
When hovering the mouse over the icon, a pop-up with more information is shown. To
view detailed information about the batteries current state, left-click the icon and choose
Laptop Battery. On certain events, such as a critically low battery state, the GNOME
Power Manager will display notifications informing you about the event.
GNOME Power Manager is usually started automatically when GNOME starts, but
you can manually start GNOME Power Manager by using the following command:
gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon
