Hi everyone!

I was wondering if nobody else but two people experience that oS 11.4 does not behave when on battery, i.e. makes the hard disk suspend every few minutes.

This has been long reported and also confirmed, but apparently it is not widespread, is it?

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=663067

I have the same symptoms on my netbook. When on battery, it does spin down very fast and starts again some seconds later. APM_level is at 1 when on battery and at 254 when plugged in.

Best regards, Thomas Hi I see the same on my eeePC 1000HE netbook.

This is regular behaviour for linux, check

Then why did I not notice it with 11.3? Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

So maybe my last comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=663067#c8 could bring the assignee to look at it.

It doesn't help that you assigned it to the wrong person... Anyway, I looked at that, and I have no clue what is right to do. However, what I can tell: - it's the pm-utils default behavior - this can be configured (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662383#c3) - Fedora dropped this part for now (see http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=pm-utils.git;a=commitdiff;h=85406683...) Now someone who knows better than me about power management can probably take a decision.

Huh? I don't see a knob in gnome-power-manager.

It's configurable with a file in /etc. See the link. Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ah! That's user friendly. NOT.

If I wanted to do that, I could have stayed with KDE ;-P

I'm not saying it's user-friendly. I'm merely pointing out how pm-utils, which has nothing to do with the desktops, is working.

I've been running 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 on the exact same hardware - never had the problem until 11.4.

Me too. Werner PS: I have the strong feeling that support for my few years old Dell Inspiron laptop gets worse and worse. Each time I test a new kernel I fear that either my i945GM graphics chip or the ACPI power management is broken again. For example, running 2.6.38-rc4-9-pae right now, three out of four tries booting fails; it then hangs at i915 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 Other problems are corrupt caching of glyphs (since a longer time) and really nasty graphic artifacts while pressing PgDn/PgUp in Mozilla 3.6.13... Similarly, hibernating the system $(Q#|(B if it works, since it fails quite often with a freeze $(Q#|(B regularly makes KDE crash later on; it seems that there is some memory corruption. Sigh. Will write/check bug reports for those issues if I find some time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
