Re: [SLE] Laptop Power Management - Not Available

I installed 8.1 in my inspiron 5000 and I get a little icon which looks like a battery with a red "X" in top of it. It says that Power Managemet tools are not available. The first time I installed I choose the "install" option from the menu, after that I installed it again with the "install acpi". Am I missing something?
The version of kdeutils3 on 8.1 has the wrong acpi /proc path compiled in -- you need to install an update: kdeutils3-laptop-3.0.4-5.i586.rpm There are a bunch of other kdeutils3 that have updates as well. (This may not totally fix your problem since acpi support varies between computers, but it will give your inspiron a fighting chance:-)
Where can I get the update? how do I run an rpm file? Mark Gray <markgray-list-1037215486@iago.nac.net> wrote:Ricardo Rodriguez writes:
