%general-entities; ]> UPower The UPower package provides an interface for enumerating power devices, listening to device events and querying history and statistics. Any application or service on the system can access the org.freedesktop.UPower service via the system message bus. &lfs121_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &upower-md5sum; Download size: &upower-size; Estimated disk space required: &upower-buildsize; Estimated build time: &upower-time; UPower Dependencies Required and Optional (Required if building GNOME) Optional , , , , , (for part of the test suite), and libimobiledevice Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary: upower First, remove an unneeded dependency from a test: sed '/parse_version/d' -i src/linux/integration-test.py Install UPower by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && meson setup .. \ --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dgtk-doc=false \ -Dman=false \ -Dsystemdsystemunitdir=no \ -Dudevrulesdir=/usr/lib/udev/rules.d && ninja mkdir build && cd build && meson setup .. \ --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dgtk-doc=false \ -Dman=false && ninja To test the results, issue: LC_ALL=C ninja test. Some checks may not pass due to missing files. The test suite should be run from a local GUI session started with dbus-launch. On 32-bit machines, one test will fail due to rounding errors: Tests.test_battery_energy_charge_mixed. On some systems, two tests relating to the headphone hotplug feature are known to fail. Those can be safely ignored since the functionality still works. The test named Tests.test_bluetooth_le_device is known to fail with dbusmock-0.30.1 or later. Now, as the root user: ninja install -Dgtk-doc=false: Prevents building the documentation. Remove this if you have GTK-Doc installed and wish to build the documentation. -Dman=false: Prevents building the manual pages. Remove this if you have and installed and wish to build the manual pages. -Dsystemdsystemunitdir=no: Removes the dependency on systemd. -Dudevrulesdir=/usr/lib/udev/rules.d: Tells the build system where to install udev rules because the information is missing in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libudev.pc Installed Program Installed Libraries Installed Directories upower libupower-glib.so /etc/UPower, /usr/include/libupower-glib, and /var/lib/upower Short Descriptions upower is the UPower command line tool upower libupower-glib.so contains the UPower API functions libupower-glib.so
