I have a desktop with a UPS connected to it. In the Gnome menu where I can log off I have another slider below the volume slider which appears to be the brightness slider and it doesn't work nor did I expect it to work. How can I remove this or how can I tell Gnome that, yes my computer has a battery but that doesn't mean it's a laptop or that brightness controls work with these monitors.
I checked all extensions offered for brightness on the Gnome website, looked at Gnome help and checked all I can find in dconf editor under /org/gnome, no luck.
Edit: I found this repository: https://github.com/dffischer/gnome-aggregatemenu-hider I installed waf but but the hider fails to build:
$ ./waf --targets=Brightness configure build
Setting top to : gnome-aggregatemenu-hider
Setting out to : gnome-aggregatemenu-hider/build
'configure' finished successfully (0.004s)

Waf: Leaving directory `gnome-aggregatemenu-hider/build'

If you can live without the power indicator you may try the following workaround.
Install a GNOME shell extension called Extend Panel Menu. This would "move the Power/Network/Volume/User/Date/Notifications menus to the status area" from the aggregate menu. The brightness control slider should be in the power indicator.
Then from the extension's preferences disable the power indicator (and other unnecessary indicators).

That's a creative workaround, but I like to keep the menu as it is and just remove this one slider. :)
