Hello,
I'm searching an application able to prevent
when the battery of my laptop will be empty soon.
Does this application exist with tde-trinity ?
(or outside of TDE).
I see that the battery is empty after about 3 hours
on my HP laptop on Jessie 64 bits,
and 8 hours with Windows-8.
Bye.

Thank you, installed,
but no information on my desktop...
How to start it ?

If it doesn't start automatically, run it from the menu. Then go to
Configure / General Settings / Miscellaneous, and make sure "starts
automatically" is checked.
If your battery is draining that much faster than with Windows, you may also
need to install cpufrequtils. That should enable frequency scaling. To
save even more power, you can use the "conservative" governor, and maybe
limit maximum CPU speed to one or two steps below the CPU's maximum.

Hi,
If I remember well, tdepowersave is to be started the same way as kmix, which means that
it has to be started once, and it starts automatically with TDE on the following boots.
If the packages has been installed correctly, you should see it in the K menu.
Once started, look at the different options, as I think that your CPU is set to run full
speed all the time. This is probably why you have much lower battery life than on Windows.
But always remember that hardware drivers on Linux are not always as much energy-saving
and optimized than on Windows. Click one time on the tdepowersave icon on the notification
area (near the clock) and you will see a pop-up with the state of tdepowersave and the
CPU cores speed.
Hope it helps!

I look on the TDE menu :
I must install some packages linked to ACPI :
"AC adaptor" and "Control method battery".
For an alert message, it's only "when the battery is full".

No, most of the time TDE hardware librairies should be okay to fetch battery infos by
itself.
You should be able to find tdepowersave in the K menu (use the search box), or start it in
konsole. Everything you need will be available in tdepowersave.
Or in some extreme cases you can rely on the blinking battery led on your laptop to see
when it's time to turn it off.
