This makes power management commands privileged. In gnome when you start it asks for root to enable drive power-down. Key issue is if you walk away and machine is running in high CPU state and can start to overheat. Machine will not shut down on a APCI temperature event as it is awaiting input. (I am working "why is it overheating" separately.) For system safety, system should be able to shut itself down to maintain integrity. Would like to know what to fix so system can shutdown for safety to resolve this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.enable secure file permissions 2.let "tracker" run for a few hours in a new gnome user (or any other behavior that causes system to stay in high CPU state in powertop) 3.system will get hot 4. Gnome dialog will state waiting on user input before shutting down... Actual Results: system gets hot and will wait until it fails before shutting down. Expected Results: Would like it to shutdown for safety. -- 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.
