Hello
I just started with Arch Linux a week ago. I managed to install it with XFCE4 as desktop and so on, but when it came to power management I gave up after hours of googleing.
I want XFCE4-power-manager to shutdown the netbook when the battery reaches a critical level. But all I can choose in the drop-down-menu is "Do nothing" and "Standby".
laptop-mode-tools are installed and configured.
Please help
Cheers,
Gem

Do you have upower installed?

pm-utils? No, do I need it for laptop-mode-tools?
Edit: hold on, it is installed already, maybe as a dependency of something else

I'm not sure if you are saying that you have pm-utils installed or that you have upower installed. I think you need upower to do what you want.

Alright, I'll try it then. Do I have to do something special or just install it?
Edit: is installed already, too

XFCE uses Gtk+2 but it does not depend on GNOME, although it uses a few things like NetworkManager and so on.
