Ok, SOLVED! I found the solution here: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/prin... For some reason the folder /etc/hal was empty. What I had to do was to create a link to /usr/share/hal/: cd /etc/hal ln -s /usr/share/hal/* ./ /etc/init.d/haldaemon stop /etc/init.d/haldaemon start Now, hald is running and so is kpowersave! Meanwhile, I also found an alternative to kpowersave that uses upowerd, batti-gtk: http://code.google.com/p/batti-gtk/ It's fun but not all the functionality of kpowersave. So, now that my hald is running I don't need it any more. Gianluca On Wed, 27 Feb 2013, Ilya Chernykh wrote:

It doesn't work for me. It says that "no information about hardware is available". It seems that I have problems with the haldaemon.
`/etc/init.c/haldaemon start`
returns "done". However `/etc/init.c/haldaemon status` returns "unused". Also, `ps` does not show that hald is running.
Any suggestions how I can make hald run? It seems that a properly running haldaemon is necessary for kpowersave to work.
Check with Yast whether hald service is running.
