Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[Whitesnow]

04/20/2013 UPDATE: version 1.2 available.

Put Xdialog instead of xmessage to popup text message.
Now, message looks like your GTK theme and hasn't got problems with cursor anymore.

News: Native Language Support (NLS) started via additional pets. Translators/pet-packers of xbatalarm.mo files are welcome.
Until now, there are an IT and an es_AR language files in this thread (English is default).

------------------------------

For historical interest:


04/06/2013 UPDATE: version 1.1 available.

Support for batteries different from BAT0 added.
Please, note: restart X (or reboot) to be sure that Xbatalarm runs after installation (or open a terminal and verify). Some notebooks need that.

------------------------------

I introduce you Xbatalarm-1.0_x86.pet, battery monitor utility for laptops with Puppy Linux on board.
Image is a test (on 99% of battery) and only wants to show how this program works, because this one doesn't need to be launched into a terminal in everyday's use.

Advantages:

- very light, it can coexist with default powerapplet_tray
- it runs in background and notify you, via pop-up and acustic warning, when charge level goes under 15% of the last capacity detected (and not that one declared initially by manufacturer. Useful for old batteries)

If you'll uninstall, please restart X or reboot your computer to stop monitoring.

thanks Whitesnow,

working well on an acer one aspire 720 with precise puppy, i've needed something like this for a long time!

[josejp2424]

excellent, if you do not mind I'll put it to translate momanager, so it can be translated into their language users.

[josejp2424]

locales -es momanager. hp 530 dual-core

[Whitesnow]

First of all, thanks to all people who tried and enjoyed Xbatalarm.

I'm curious about your work, josejp2424. Could you post it and tell me more?

[josejp2424]

hi whitesnow here send Xbatalam to traduce withmomanager and locale-es to spanish

now every user will change lang with momanager

[josejp2424]

in precise if you put in console appears momanager translator. you need the devx loaded

[josejp2424]

sorry for my English

[Whitesnow]

Hi josejp2424,

could you pet-pack your "locale-es-xbatalarm.tar.gz" as "Xbatalarm_NLS-es_AR-1.1_x86.pet" or create it again as "Xbatalarm_NLS-es_AR-1.2_x86.pet" and post it here?
Please, note: Xdialog in 1.2, instead of xmessage in 1.0 and 1.1, needs to rewrite xbatalarm.po file to make mo one correctly (with Momanager or not).

Last but not least... You are now in section "Credits" of our script for your nice work and help in building language support.
