Sorry for my many e-mails about hibernate.
I have two usage questions:
1) How can I disable having to enter a password after hibernate or suspend?
2) How can I add the logout / lock screen buttons to the right side of the panel?
I did search though the Trinity Control Center for these two but I have not been able to locate them (yet).
Thanks!
Gianluca

Hi Gianluca,
For your point #2: right click on the panel, choose "Add Applet to Panel..." and select the "Lock/Logout Buttons" applet and it is done!

Ciao Gianluca,
1) if you use TDEPowersaver, there is an option to lock the screen before suspend (look at the general tab). This does not show up in the TCC.
2) right click panel, add Applet "Lock/Logout buttons".
Cheers Michele

Ciao Michele,
I found trinity-tdepowersave in the repository. It's strange: I have KLaptop in the tray, which I believe is also a Trinity package and shows battery status. Can you have both installed?
- right click panel, add Applet "Lock/Logout buttons".
That worked. Thanks!

Ciao Michele,
Sorry, I replied from my phone yesterday, which put strange indentations. Here it my response again.

I'll try it out. It's just strange that there are two applets (KLaptop and TDEPowersave) to manage power settings.

Ciao Gianluca, I suggest you use tdepowersave which is integrated with the TDE hw lib. KLaptop is an extension for laptop functionalities, but not sure what is working and what not in it.

Ciao Michele,
I installed trinity-tdepowersave and unchecked the box under "Lock screen before suspend or standby", but it does not seem to have any effect. It still locks the screen with both hibernate or suspend. Is there any configuaration file where I can check whether this is really set/unset?
On a separate note: suspend does not work well on this laptop and I may have to disable it.
On a separate note: I tried uninstalling KLaptop, most of its function do not seem to work except to monitor the battery. I tried uninstalling it but trinity-tdeutils depends on it, so I left it. I can hide its battery monitor since tdepowersave also offers one and I don't need two battery monitors. (I can always re-enable the battery monitor icon through ~/.trinity/share/config/kcmlaptoprc).
Best,
Gianluca

I found the corresponding file:
cat ~/.trinity/share/config/tdepowersaverc [General] AlreadyStarted=true lockOnSuspend=false
but TDE seems to ignore it. I even added the lines:
lockOnHibernate=false lockOnStandby=false
but still no effect. There must a way to tell TDE to not lock the screen before hibernating.
I can also enter
`systemctl hibernate`
from the command line (in which case it does not ask for a password upon resuming), but I thought from the TDE buttons it may be a bit cleaner.
Thanks,
Gianluca

Ciao Gianluca, sorry for the late reply. I don't recall any other settings regarding the locking of the screen, but of course I could be wrong. It may well be a bug and the screen gets lock even when tdepowersaver has been configure not to do it... If anyone else can confirm the problem, we should open an issue on TGW to track this.
Cheers Michele
