"power manager" distractingly spammy

[Fatman_UK]

Hi all,

searched for this but didn't find it.

I keep getting "power manager" popups telling me either "battery charging, 2 mins to complete" or "battery draining, only 6 hours left" (depending on whether I'm plugged in or not).

Is there a setting I can tweak to shut it up somewhat? I don't need minute-by-minute battery status updates, I just need to know if the power manager's about to kick the system into hibernate. Kind of annoying when I'm trying to work.

Any ideas? Thanks guys! :)

In Xubuntu, right-click on the battery icon, and open the XFCE power manager.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll try that. It will still tell me about impending hibernation events, right?
