Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts Version: 1.0.2 Severity: wishlist When a user boots from SD or USB key, suspending the Eee without a kernel that has USB_PERSIST=y will corrupt files. (See: http://bugs.debian.org/468213). Please provide a way to disable suspend automatically if a filesystem is mounted on USB and such a kernel is in use.
When we discussed this on irc we proposed this might be done with a config variable in /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts to specify the action to take, e.g. USB_FS_NONPERSISTENT_SUSPEND_ACTION=shutdown with possible actions being: none = no action (simply disables suspend) blank = blank the screen shutdown suspend (dangerous! any files open to write will be corrupted) The rationale for having a separate variable for this is once a kernel is installed that has USB_PERSIST=y, the normal suspend behaviour will automatically be restored. This is distinct from the need to specify what action to take when the user presses the power button, puts the lid down or presses Fn-F1. It could be argued that in this case just having the user edit settings in /etc/acpi is appropriate, or if that's not acceptable, some other /etc/default variables should be used. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages eeepc-acpi-scripts depends on: ii acpi-support-base 0.103-5 scripts for handling base ACPI eve ii acpid 1.0.6-5.1 Utilities for using ACPI power man ii alsa-utils 1.0.16-1 ALSA utilities ii pm-utils 0.99.2-3 utilities and scripts for power ma eeepc-acpi-scripts recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
