FadeoutToSleep

About

A program to fade out volume linearly and put the computer to standby mode (sleep). It's similar to "Final Countdown" program on Windows (with less features). I made this for my own use, but I hope it helps other people to fall asleep easier also.

Installation

Use command: sudo python3 -m pip install FadeoutToSleep

Or if you downloaded the source code yourself, extracted it and changed to its directory: sudo python3 -m pip install .

Not using "sudo" may install the program to a place where it can't be found automatically and you have to add path to there manually.

You may need to install pip before that: For examble on Linux Mint or Ubuntu: sudo apt install pip And on EndeavourOS: sudo pacman -S python-pip

Usage

Run using command FadeoutToSleep as a normal user.

Add a shortcut to your desktop environment if you like. The way it's done varies so much that I won't give instructions here.

Depencies

• Python >=3.4 with PIP (I'm not actually sure what specific version is the lower limit)
• PyGObject
• pulsectl (python-pulse-control)

And:

• Linux with PulseAudio
• Sound output on your computer

Notes

Tested with only Linux Mint 20-21 Cinnamon, Ubuntu 22 and EndeavourOS 22.9. Should work on anything Gtk capable and using PulseAudio.
