From user perspective, requesting standby mode from powersaved clients (e.g. powersave, kpowersave) does nothing. The error I described can then be seen in syslog (maybe after enabling log output in powersaved configuration). From programmer perspective, powersaved receives standby message but because in daemon/pm_interface.cpp func PM_Interface::handleDBusMessage(), the code starting with } else if (msg_member == "Standby" || msg_member == "standby") { was removed, so PM_Interface::handleDBusMessage() returns } else { return REPLY_INVALID_METHOD; } I am changing the OS field for this bug, because it is present in oS 11 also. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In the past, we've seen very to no machines which do something useful when standby gets activated (most systems do not even have standby anymore). So what I like to know is what the standby mode did when it was working for you in 10.3. Did the display go off? Harddisk span down? etc...

I have attached logs which detail what happened when I last used the standby function in oS 10.2. Some script checked for services to stop, then modules to unload and then machine entered ACPI S1 state. I this state CPU is stopped and some motherboard devices enter power save mode (e.g. USB, FireWire, LAN, I think). Also probably GPU is stopped also, display goes power off. I cannot remember whether hard disk is also spun down. The important information I have not mention yet, I use standby function with a desktop PC, not with a laptop. I use a laptop and two desktops with Gigabyte motherboards. The laptop supports suspend to ram, not standby and the desktops have only standby. I don't know but have thought that most desktops support standby. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
