Re: Need GDBus Service file for org.gnome.Shell

Hi Norman,

now I got time to try what you proposed:

const UPowerGlib = imports.gi.UPowerGlib; # in the declaration part of
the extension.js


this._upClient = new UPowerGlib.Client();
this._sigSleep = this._upClient.connect('notify_sleep',
Lang.bind(this, function()
       {
           log("SLEEP.................");
        }));
this._sigResume =
this._upClient.connect('notify_resume',Lang.bind(this, function()
        {
             log("RESUME.................");
         }));

in init() (I also tried enable())
and

this._upClient.disconnect(this._sigSleep);
this._upClient.disconnect(this._sigResume);

in disable() of the extension.js.

But it didn't work. I got no "SLEEP................." or
"RESUME................." messages in my log (which I called by
journalctl -b /usr/bin/gnome-session --since=today ).
I suppose, that's because of running systemd here?

Anyway, thanks! Let's hope the authoer of the extension finds the mistake...
(...I also tried to find it, but didn't succeed until now.)


Cheers
Bazon
