[opensuse-kde] KDE and power saving
Hello, recently I had severe trouble to resume my machine from suspending when I suspended from within the K menu. The Nvidia graphics driver went mad after resuming and I had to kill the X server. And hibernating did not work correctly, the machine did not go down correctly, had to shut it down hard. I used the K menu entries for powersaving. Now I found out something very interesting, when I use the command line tools pm-suspend or pm-hibernate, everything is fine! The Nvidia graphics resumes properly and the machine hibernates perfectly! This leads me to 2 questions, first, what power saving method is used when you use the powersaving entries from within K menu? Second, how can I tell KDE to use the command lind tools pm-suspend and pm-hibernate for powersavin? Pm-suspend and pm-hibernate has only one drawback, it does not lock the KDE session screen, thus anyone who wakes up the machine can get into my KDE session. I´m on openSUSE 13.1 Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

You can try first with command: 'qdbus --system org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Suspend true' This way you could determine do things go bad on PowerDevil <-> logind, or logind <-> pm-utils side off things.
