When started, KPowersave prompts that DBUS is not running and recommends /etc/init.d/dbus start, even if DBUS is running ("/etc/init.d/dbus status" says "status: started"), but powersaved is not running. This happens when a system with already running DBUS emerges sys-power/kpowersave - the powersaved daemon is being installed, but not started, and also not added to default run configuration (I still have to do "rc-update add powersaved default"), so it also doesn't work after a reboot. On the other hand, it works when KPowersave is running and I say "/etc/init.d/powersaved stop" - now KPowersave prompts that powersaved is not running. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Unload/Quit KPowersave. 2. /etc/init.d/powersaved stop 3. Make sure /etc/init.d/dbus states started. 4. Start kpowersave. 5. Wait. There seems to be a timeout of about 10s. Then the dbus error message appears. Actual Results: Misleading error message stating "dbus not running". Expected Results: Error message "powersaved not running", just like when I say "/etc/init.d/powersaved stop" when KPowersave is running.
please talk to upstream kpowersave devs about this. Not a Gentoo problem imo despite the init scripts which are from Gentoo ;) thanks
