[opensuse-factory] Possible powersave bugs in 10.2 RC1
Hi, I've come across some issues related to powersave on a clean install of openSUSE 10.2 RC1. 1. When kpowersave is running and a laptop power button is pressed, powersaved complains (and nothing else happens): Nov 27 07:52:05 vaio powersaved[31177]: Debug (handleHWEventRequest:170) type: button/power, dev_name: PWRB, port: 00000080, count: 00000015 Nov 27 07:52:05 vaio powersaved[31177]: Info (handleHWEventRequest:215) button.power event occured Nov 27 07:52:05 vaio powersaved[31177]: Debug (haveClient:313) We don't own the interface org.freedesktop.Policy.Power If I shutdown kpowersave, button events work as set in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/events. The issue is that button events are not configurable in kpowersave, therefore there is no way to e.g. set the power button to trigger a 'suspend to ram' instead of the default action assigned by kpowersave. 2. s2ram It appears that options are read from /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep instead of /etc/pm/config. I have set the '--force' option in /etc/pm/config, however when triggering suspend to ram from the kpowersave context menu, the system attempts to suspend to ram but instead of powering off, comes back complaining about '--force' not being set. '--force' is only set in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep. Furthermore, the s2ram scripts still point the user to /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep for configuration. 3. Brightness Changing brightness works fine using kpowersave. When using the laptop hotkeys (Fn+F5/F6) for changing the brightness, a message window shows up (it has the same look as when pressing volume hotkeys, I just don't know which program it is), indicating that brightness is being changed, however only the LED brightness of the power-button on the laptop-chassis changes but not the display brightness. Some more info: powersave version is 0.15.8-3 pm-utils version is 0.20.0.20061114-2 kpowersave version is 0.7.1 Laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-T1XP Thanks for any comments.

This part of the report is not a bug: Kpowersave does not use powersaved any more, it actually conflicts with powersaved now. powersaved detects that Kpowersave is running and becomes inactive in order to prevent any conflicts. This is working exactly as designed. The other things might be bugs, use Bugzilla to report them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
