Battery notification daemon in i3

Issues & Assistance i3wm
1

I’m trying to get rid of the dunst notifications when the battery is discharging or is fully charged as as they trigger quite often when I’m running games on steam. Does anyone know where the daemon that watches for the battery status or something similar that triggers it is?

here’s the garuda-inxi

What’s the problem with not posting garuda-inxi?
It contains additional, useful information about the status of your system.

Dunst is just the app that issues data, messages and warnings.
The originator is usually included in the message, if not you have to change the settings of dunst.
Then prevent the messages from this app.

Please, follow the template.

I just thought it was pre-configured in i3 installations, because I haven’t messed with that part. I just changed the dunstrc a bit.

Correct, but Dunst does not send messages on its own.

Or

Then turn off the notifications in this app.

Add %a to

format = "<b>%s</b>\n%b"

format = "%a\n<b>%s</b>\n%b"

My English is bad, sorry.

I know dunst itself manage what notifications to show. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I’m just trying to figure out what process calls dunst to send the notification for the battery. I don’t want to get rid of the notifications altogether.

That’s what I want to know. What app is that.

Unfortunately, it isn’t in this case.

Did you change like I wrote?
Did you reboot.

You were right. It was xfce’s Power Manager.
Now I will have to check how to configure the notifications there. If not I’ll have to disable them from dunst. Thanks a lot for your patience.
