Revision history [back]

I searched far and wide but I didn't find instructions to do the following:

I'd like to have the led blinking when the screen is off but the device isn't locked. This would allow me to see if I need to lock it manually before leaving it on a table. I think notification-style blinking and screen-dimming colour would do allright for me (I read that unlinke breathing, blinking doesn't require CPU and thus is more energy effient).

Edit: Here's the pattern I want: PatternNotLocked=0;6;600;500;2000;00ffff. I tried
1. Adding it to 20hybris-led.ini
2. Making a file for it like adviced here, also tried activating it via the Dbus call, got method return sender=:1,74 -> dest=:1.80 reply_serial=2 as reply.reply.
3. Editing PatternDeviceOn to suit my purpose and removed it from the LEDPatternsDisabled list.

No success so far...

Edit: Here's the pattern I want: PatternNotLocked=0;6;600;500;2000;00ffff. I tried what I did: I opened the file like this:

nano /etc/mce/20hybris-led.ini

Then I edited PatternDeviceOn= to

244;0;600;100;3000;00ffff

(importancy=244, 0 means it runs when display is off, 600=10 minutes, the time it takes for my phone to autolock, 100 is the time in milliseconds when the led is on, 3000(ms) is the frequency and 00ffff is the color (cyan).)
1. Adding it to 20hybris-led.ini
2. Making After that I removed PatternDeviceOn from LEDPatternsDisabled= (at the end of the file) and rebooted.

Okay, now I got a file blinking led for it like adviced here, also tried activating it via the Dbus call, got method return sender=:1,74 -> dest=:1.80 reply_serial=2 as reply.
3. Editing PatternDeviceOn to suit my purpose and removed it from the LEDPatternsDisabled list.

No success so far...10 minutes, but how can I make it only run while the device isn't locked?

Okay, now I got a the led blinking led for 10 minutes, but next I need to make it so it doesn't run when you lock the device by doublepressing the power key. So, how can do I make it only run while the device isn't locked?the power key send a dbus call to stop the led from blinking?

Okay, now I got the led blinking for There are two problems, though:
1. The blinking stops after 10 minutes, next I need to make it so it minutes and doesn't run when reset
2. It blinks even if you lock the device by doublepressing the power key. So, how via doublepress on powerkey
I think I need to assign some dbus actions to the powerkey: doubleclick will stop the blinking and normal click will restart the blinking. But the blinking should also be restarted when I unblank the screen via doubletap. How can I do I make the power key send a dbus call to stop the led from blinking but not disable the pattern for eternity?that?
