I just upgraded from 8.1 to 9.3 and am every time I start a session, I get this message --
"The powersave daemon is not running Starting it will improve performance /usr/sbin/rcpowersaved start"
If I run /usr/sbin/rcpowersaved start, it says --
"acpid already running, but should be started by powersaved. Please set acpid service to off or stop it manually ... skipped"
It means that in order to start it manually after the system is running, it needs you to manually stop acpid (with kill, not so easy), and then start rcpowersaved again; this will again start acpid automatically. The easy way is just to enable powersaved. in yast, and it will be available on the next boot. No worry.
I disabled the powersaved daemon because I am running a desktop computer and don't see any need for it, based on my reading. Based on the description for acpid, it doesn't sound like this is something I want to disable (am I wrong?). How can I get powersave out of my hair?
The powersaved services are used, for example, to suspend to disk. This is very usefull in portables, but I find it very usefull in desktops, too: I have my system completely booted up and ready in a minute or less, much faster than when booting up completely. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDH4e3tTMYHG2NR9URAtk8AJ97tc2fc2J1abzaDmUJMRFHgfechwCgl8Hz qjjtcO2WAmvp+6AFdJ14gg8= =BAXO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
