PwrStat GUI

Released July 2025

Version 1.3.0

Updated June 2026


Description

A graphical user interface for CyberPower's PowerPanel Linux software using Python's tkinter library. Runs the command sudo pwrstat -status to gather information from the UPS. Can also log gathered information in a CSV file. Not affiliated with CyberPower.


Requirements

x86_64 is the only supported architecture. CyberPower's PowerPanel Personal requires systemd.

This project requires CyberPower's PowerPanel for Linux, which can be found on CyberPower's website. It also requires the DejaVu Sans font and PolicyKit support. Both are included with most distros, but are added as a dependency in packaged applications.

Debian Fedora Arch
fonts-dejavu-core dejavu-sans-fonts ttf-dejavu
polkit polkit polkit

The operating system used to compile each package, as well as that OS's glibc and Python versions. A target system may not have an older version of glibc than the one used for packaging, but it may have an older Python version.

Package Operating System glibc Python
Debian Ubuntu 22.04 2.35 3.10.12
Fedora Fedora 43 2.42 3.14.5
Arch Arch 2.43 3.14.5

If your distro is unsupported, you can try creating your own package using the developer packages.

Memory

This application uses approximately 25 MiB of memory.

Storage

This application uses approximately 20-50 MiB of storage, varying based on distro and needed dependencies.


Installation

Packages can be found on this respository's GitHub page under releases.

Development

I have added some developer packages on GitHub. These include the files used to create packages and some documentation, as well as some scripts to automate compilation and packaging.


Operating System Support

Support is assumed for all distros based on Debian, Fedora, and Arch, except Bazzite and antiX. Below is a list of distros with confirmed support.

Distro Version
Debian 13
12
Ubuntu 24.04
22.04
Fedora 44
43
Arch

1 Run xhost +local:pwrstat-gui in your terminal after installing. Bazzite is not supported. It may run, but you cannot change any settings. A fix is expected in the next release. antiX is not supported, due to PowerPanel Personal requiring systemd.
