Inspired by https://github.com/centic9/headset-charge-indicator/

Building HeadsetControl

Follow the instructions at https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl/ for building the binary and note down the path to it.

You can test the helper application manually via headsetcontrol -b, this should print the current battery level to the console if your headset is supported.

Make sure you have gnome-icon-theme package installed.

1 click install from E.G.O:

Download latest release

1. Download the zip file from the release page
2. The md5 and sig files can be used to verify the integrity of the zip file
3. Unzip and run install.sh from the zip

Install from source

Use the main branch.

git clone https://github.com/ChrisLauinger77/gnome-shell-extension-HeadsetControl.git
cd gnome-shell-extension-HeadsetControl.git
./install.sh

Now restart gnome-shell.

Development

Pull requests are welcome.

To update the translation files run ./update-translation-po-files.sh in the extensions directory after your code changes are finished. This will update the files in po folder. Then poedit (https://poedit.net/download) can be used to translate the strings. poedit can also be used to create new localization files.

Debugging

Logging can be enabled in settings. Afterwards open a console and type:

journalctl -f -o cat

You will see now the output in the console when you try to show the quicksettings.

Fedora has a package for "headsetcontrol" which seems to be outdated. (see #14)

Using the github version until Fedora updates the package is recommended.
