Package: acpid Version: 1.0.4-5 Severity: important On my laptop when I opened the lid after it was closed during around 30 minutes, CPU was constantly at 100%, while disk was writing something. It turned out to be acpid filling up /var/log/acpid with "LID" events. Before I understood what was going on, the log file had grown to ~170M !
I then stopped acpid, and after reading the man page tried to read /proc/acpi/event with a cat; It showed that a lot of "LID" events where pending, but they flushed off in less than a second. I interrupted the cat and restarted acpid, and all was fine again. I'm don't know enough about LID events, so I can't guess whether acpid or linux kernel is the culprit. But since events seem to have accumulated, maybe it's acpid's role to flush the event queue when LID or other resume-like events are detected ? -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages acpid depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries acpid recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Hope this helps, Fabien. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
