Is there ANY way to make this script enabled automatically on amarok's startup? Please, I really need it :)

Hi,
are you still mantaining this script?
It should be updated as hal is getting deprecated: it's no more in use in KDE 4.6 (so for instance Kubuntu 11.04 doesn't install hal) in Gnome and in Xfce 4.8.
Major distributions are planning to drop or have already dropped it (see http://wiki.debian.org/HALRemoval https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/HalRemoval)

ConsoleKit might be a replacement but i'm not quite sure

Greetings, and thanks for the script anyways!

consolekit should work at least for shutdown/restart, see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/ConsoleKit/doc/ConsoleKit.html#Manager

no clues about suspend/hibernate though

the solution for suspend/hibernate should be Upower http://upower.freedesktop.org/docs/UPower.html

and my soliloquy ends (finally) with the patch needed:

this.execute(shutdown);
}


check to have consolekit and upower installed in order for this to work (this should be default in all "modern" distros)

cheers

Do you plan to translate your script?

I have no idea how to do translations for a script, but I can take a look at it if you like. What translations do you want?

I am French, so I would like use this script in french. If you want, I can send you translation of your script by email.

Ok, I'll try to take a look at translations, but it probably won't be this week because I'm very busy at the moment. You can find my email on the homepage of sleepy.

Tell us when you're ready to add translations and I'll submit one for Español de Argentina (Castellano)

Added french translation, if you want, add some other translations and mail them to me.

You can find a template here: http://gitorious.org/sleepy/sleepy/trees/master/translations

Sure, but I need a template...

Hi, nice script but can you add "Amarok Stop" or "Amarok Pause" to triggers? :)
thanks

Done ^^

Thanks for the patch, I applied it with some minor changes.
I also added custom messages for each action.
If you have other requests you can always ask them and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks!
