Issue/Bug Description:

Selecting "Battery Life" from the top right desktop menu always sets the Power Mode in the system settings to "Balanced Power".

Screenshot from 2022-03-07 10-32-02

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

When selecting "Battery Life" from the top right desktop menu the Power Mode in the system settings is set to "Balanced Power" even if the setting was "Power Saver"

Expected behavior:

I expect Selecting "Battery Life" from the top right desktop menu to set the power mode to "Power Saver" or at least remember this setting if it was already set.

Hold on. Do you still have this panel in GNOME Settings? This is for gnome-power-profiles and isn't compatible with system76-power. It's not there on Pop installs.

Yup I have this. Should I remove gnome-power-profiles package?

mmstick commented 2 years ago

Yes

HarlemSquirrel commented 2 years ago

Yes

Oh I don't see this package actually, just gnome-power-manager

You might want to consider marking in the debian/control file Conflicts: gnome-power-profiles gnome-power-manager

That will cause apt (and dpkg) to loudly yell at you if you try to have both installed.

Though take care that removing the package doesn't cause like all of gnome to be uninstalled thanks to their tangled network of dependencies.
