Hi,

since some days (but I can't really tell how much), powersaved doesn't manage
to put my computer to sleep when I close the lid.

I've configured it to run suspend_to_ram when closing, the screen_saver when
opening. Now when I close the LID, nothing happens (the display is OFF but
that's all). When I reopen it, the screensaver is run.

If I check acpid debug stuff, it sure process and sends LID CLOSED events. But
nothing appears in powersaved debug log.

If I run it from the foreground, when closing the opening I get that:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: sudo powersaved -f /var/run/acpid.socket -v 31
Received error reply: A security policy in place prevents this sender from
sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file
(rejected message had interface
"org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement" member "Suspend" error name
"(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")


gnome-power-manager manages to suspend the laptop when closing the LID so hal
seems to work fine, but maybe there's a configuration problem (in powersaved
or in hal, I don't know). powersaved has not been updated recently, hal has
been updated on may 12 so maybe it's that old, I can't really say.

If you need more debug/info, please ask.

Seems to be a hal issue indeed.

Could you add

 <policy user="root">

    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.VideoAdapterPM"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
  </policy>



Cheers,
Michael

<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/> To /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf and reload dbus (/etc/init.d/dbus reload) and test again.
