After upgrading from 13.2 on my old 32 bit Acer TravelMate 2410 power
management doesn't work as expected.

I have always used acpid for the purpose of having the system hibernate
automatically when the power is disconnected if the lid is closed and I have
these settings and scripts for the purpose. These have always worked on 13.2
(in 'init 5' and in 'init 3' mode):

# cat /etc/acpi/actions/hibernate.sh
#!/bin/bash

lockfile='/tmp/hibernation_started.lock'

/usr/bin/logger 'AC power is off.'

# Is hibernation already started?
if [ -f "$lockfile" ]
then
    /usr/bin/logger 'Hibernation already started.'
    exit 0
fi

/usr/bin/touch $lockfile

# Wait a bit (it may be just a short power off)
sleep 30

# Is AC power still off?
grep -q "off-line" /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ADP1/state

if [ $? = 0 ]
then
    # Power is still off. Now check if laptop lid is closed
    grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
    if [ $? = 0 ]
    then
        /usr/bin/logger 'Initiating closed lid hibernation...'
        /usr/bin/rm $lockfile
        /usr/sbin/systemctl hibernate
    fi
fi

# cat /etc/acpi/actions/online.sh 
#!/bin/bash

lockfile='/tmp/hibernation_started.lock'

/usr/bin/logger 'AC power is on.'

# Is hibernation already started?
if [ -f "$lockfile" ]
then
    /usr/bin/logger 'Cancelling closed lid hibernation.'
    /usr/bin/rm $lockfile
fi

# cat /etc/acpi/events/ac_power_off 
event=ac_adapter ACPI0003:00 00000080 00000000
action=/etc/acpi/actions/hibernate.sh

# cat /etc/acpi/events/ac_power_on 
event=ac_adapter ACPI0003:00 00000080 00000001
action=/etc/acpi/actions/online.sh


But now 'journalctl -f' is showing me a weird message when testing:


Jan 17 01:01:27 acer.group systemd-logind[909]: Lid closed.
Jan 17 01:01:35 acer.group root[3562]: AC power is off.
Jan 17 01:01:35 acer.group systemd-udevd[3576]: Process '/usr/sbin/tlp auto'
failed with exit code 4.
Jan 17 01:02:46 acer.group systemd-udevd[3644]: Process '/usr/sbin/tlp auto'
failed with exit code 4.
(.... and the system doesn't hibernate... so I turn the power on again)
Jan 17 01:02:46 acer.group root[3658]: AC power is on.
Jan 17 01:02:46 acer.group root[3659]: Cancelling closed lid hibernation.
Jan 17 01:02:52 acer.group root[3703]: AC power is off.
Jan 17 01:02:52 acer.group systemd-udevd[3730]: Process '/usr/sbin/tlp auto'
failed with exit code 4.


And again - hibernation doesn't work. The bolded lines are something new (after
upgrading to Tumbleweed). In 13.2 there were no such errors.

Another attempt with acpid after rebooting (again) gives:


Jan 17 01:38:17 acer.group root[2070]: AC power is off.
(... no error like before but still not hibernating)
Jan 17 01:39:22 acer.group root[2145]: AC power is on.
Jan 17 01:39:22 acer.group root[2147]: Cancelling closed lid hiberna


I am watching the 'journalctl -f' from an ssh session.


I also tried manually evoking hibernation from xfce: Logout->Hibernate and
through console (using 'systemclt hibernate') and it works. However when I
power on the system again it is unusable - the power is on, the Tubmle weed 2-3
line version message appears after which the monitor turns off completely and
the system doesn't react to anything I try - keyboard, mouse, touchpad, even
ssh connection to it is impossible. The only way to get out of this is through
hardware reset which is terrible.
