Ranjan, what sort of functionality do you need? (For example, I
essentially only use tint2 to inform me whether my laptop is plugged
in or not and how much energy is left, and this works for me ok).

Best,
Lukasz

> On OpenBox, I have been using batti for my power-manager. However, of late, on Fedora 24, here is what I have been getting:
>
> $batti
> Neither UPower nor DeviceKit.Power could be initialized!
> This can have multiple reasons.
> Here is the error for UPower:
>
>     org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such property 'type'
>
> And this is the error for DeviceKit.Power:
>
>     org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power was not provided by any .service files
>

> I did post on Fedora mailing list a while ago, but no one responded. Maybe not many people use batti any longer.
>
> So, I am looking for a solution (best) or an alternative to batti. I  would like to avoid using desktop tools such as xfce4-powermanager and lxqt-powermanagement which bring in a host of dependencies (which IMO defeats the purpose of using a minimal quality WM environment).
