SuSE 9.1, Thinkpad i1452, and power saving
This one has me stumped - I haven't been able to Google anything that seems to point in the right direction. SuSE 9.1 seems to love this laptop (albeit a little slow). Everything works on it, with one minor flaw: SOMETIMES (about every other boot), the ACPI power button won't trigger shutdown. When it works, I just touch the power switch, the laptop gracefully shuts down. When it's not working, hitting the power button does nothing. I >can< hold it for 5+ seconds and it will hard power down. This is a fairly minor glitch, but it's just one of those "WHY???" things that's going to make me lose sleep :) Thanks! Steve
try checking the status of acpi and powersave damons when it happens - eg open konsole (or gconsole, or ctrl+alt+f2) login as root type /etc/init.d/acpid status and /etc/init.d/powersave status and print the results thx Alle 15:13, venerdì 21 maggio 2004, Steve Kratz ha scritto:

Did something get set up wrong? I su'd to root, acpid doesn't exist in that directory. powersave -status shows normal... -----Original Message----- From: Luca Botti [mailto:botti.luca@email.it] Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 4:58 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE 9.1, Thinkpad i1452, and power saving try checking the status of acpi and powersave damons when it happens - eg open konsole (or gconsole, or ctrl+alt+f2) login as root type /etc/init.d/acpid status and /etc/init.d/powersave status and print the results thx Alle 15:13, venerdì 21 maggio 2004, Steve Kratz ha scritto:

Ooops, i was wrong - Powersave substitutes acpid in 9.1 . So if /etc/init.d/powersaved shows a running status, id do not know... Alle 18:09, lunedì 24 maggio 2004, Steve Kratz ha scritto:

try checking the status of acpi and powersave damons when it happens - eg
open konsole (or gconsole, or ctrl+alt+f2)
login as root
type /etc/init.d/acpid status and /etc/init.d/powersave status
and print the results

I'll start checking that each time I shutdown. I'll let you know if I see it stop. (Then the fun part begins, right? WHY did it stop?) :) -----Original Message----- From: Luca Botti [mailto:botti.luca@email.it] Sent: Monday, May 24, 2004 11:21 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE 9.1, Thinkpad i1452, and power saving Ooops, i was wrong - Powersave substitutes acpid in 9.1 .

I checked powersaved last night before shutting down -- It was still running. System still didn't respond to shut-down request by pressing power switch. :( -----Original Message----- From: Luca Botti [mailto:botti.luca@email.it] Sent: Monday, May 24, 2004 11:21 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE 9.1, Thinkpad i1452, and power saving Ooops, i was wrong - Powersave substitutes acpid in 9.1 .
