https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273474 ------- Comment #2 from jnelson-suse@jamponi.net 2007-05-11 10:38 MST ------- Regarding your first comment, the *last line* in my comment was: "No change if I shut down policykit." the implication is that policykit was running (and therefore installed). In any case, although I didn't comment on it, I restarted policykit, hal, and powersaved several times. Eventually I forcibly removed powersave, rm -rf /etc/sysconfig/powersave, and reinstalled it. After restarting hal (again) and starting powersave everything seemed to work much better. The machine has been restarted several times since then and it continues to work. I should note that I had never used nor configured powersave on THIS machine before, and that only after I got new hardware which supported it did I make a single change (to ask it to use dynamic or powersave on A/C power). NOTE: this makes a huge difference. An AMD Athlon 64 x2 3600+ (Brisbane), 3x SATA drives, a bunch of fans, and so on and so forth consumes (at the WALL) 130 Watts in powersaving/dynamic mode. That's 20 Watts *less* than the same exact system with a different motherboard+CPU (Duron 750). Wooo! If this resurfaces, I'll re-comment and/or re-open. In the meantime, all I can ask is that perhaps the appropriate code output a more useful error message and/or be a bit more resilient? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
