Bug 268588 – sys-apps/hal does not sleep when pressing my sleep or power button

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Philipp Leonhardt 2009-05-04 12:40:57 UTC]

gnome-power-manager does nothing on pressing suspend or power button.
I have configured my Xserver with hal and evdev.
But i dont want to set
--enable-legacy-buttons
in the g-p-m (gnome-power-manager) ebuild because in 2.27 it will totally be running over hal.

hal says me suspend button is /dev/input/event3 and power button
/dev/input/event0
xev shows nothing on pressing power related buttons but i read this is normal.

Is there something i have to set on hal???

hal, dbus and consolekit version please. Please also paste, say the last 200 lines of your /var/log/message.log after pressing the buttons.

ok so it does not seem to be policykit related. What happens if you write pm-suspend/pm-hibernate in a root console (in X)

suspending and powering off over console commands or mouseklicks on gnome-power-manager works perfectly but since --disable-legacy-buttons on g-p-m
the hotkeys with "fn" or sonthing else do not work.

[Comment 6 Philipp Leonhardt 2009-05-04 17:20:41 UTC]

I've read some posts on other distros and concentraded my search on devicekit
there are some patches and fedora uses a 20090401git because of suspending problems. And if they build g-p-m with --enable-legacy-buttons and use the fixed devicekit-power it looks like there are two suspending commands on one button press.
So fedora is used with --disable-legacy-buttons

i will test it and report

[Comment 7 Philipp Leonhardt 2009-05-04 19:29:35 UTC]

ok Devicekit-power from git does not help
newest dbus version does not help

gnome-power-manager with debug flag and verbose mode says nothing when suspend or power button is pressed

Which way gnome-power-manager recives acpi events from xorg and not from hal?
Its DeviceKit right???

hum I re-enabled legacy keys in latest gnome-power-manager bump. Could you try with 2.26.3 ?
