GNOME 3 Power Manage setting

I had been ask for GNOME 3 Power manage setting question.
For power button with hiber nate.

I feel good the GNOME 3 Desktop. So I didn't spend much time to learn it.
I use gnome-tweak-tool when openSUSE 11.3 with GNOME 3.


But there was some bug when I used  it.
GNOME 3 is simple and good now.
And the power manage setting is also simple now.
Like this ..

It doesn't like the traditional way to set button behavior.  For example, button-power, button-sleep.
I use search engine to search the resolve.  Somebody use XFCE package to resolve this problem.
But I think that is not gnome package and official method to resolve it.
I find a package to resolve the problem.
That is dconf-editor package. ( Simple key-based configuration system -- Graphical Editor)

I use openSUSE, so I use zypper to check it.



# zypper search dconf


S | Name                    | Summary                                                    | Type   
--+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------
i | dconf                   | Simple key-based configuration system                      | package
  | dconf-devel             | Simple key-based configuration system -- Development Files | package
  | dconf-editor            | Simple key-based configuration system -- Graphical Editor  | package


It's not install by default. So I use zypper to install it.


# zypper install dconf-editor



Setting power manage setting is very simple.
run dconf-editor command


#dconf-editor



Extend org --> gnome --> setting-daemon --> plugins --> power
And you will see some setting there.






Just click the setting you want to set.

You also could use  gsettings command to set it.

For example

#gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power shutdown



enjoy it ~~

What is COSCUP?

http://coscup.org/2011/en/

COSCUP is the largest annual FLOSS conference organized by local
communities in Taiwan. The conference has sessions for new users,
enthusiastic promoters, coders or anyone who is interested in
cutting-edge FLOSS technologies. The goal is to create a friendly and
informative environment for people from different communities to make
friends, learn new technologies and inspire each other.

Open source software is supported by 3 groups: coders, users and
promoters. This conference is aimed at all three groups. No matter
whether you are a new user, a passionate promoter, mature developer or
anywhere in between, you are welcome at COSCUP, the Conference for
