Package: acpi-support Version: 0.109-9 Severity: normal The dbus-pm suspend method in the suspendorhibernate script (which is enabled by default) is inherently broken and, I think, should be removed altogether.
It uses the dbus-send program with the --session option, but since it does not run in the desktop user's session, it will never actually find the right session, and furthermore, will sometimes even create a new session. Every time I suspend my laptop, it will create a new DBus session as root and start gnome-power-manager inside it, running as root, so that I need to kill it every time it wakes up again. For some reason, this appears not to be a problem when running Gnome, however. I can only assume that two g-p-m's can manage to lock out each other or something. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages acpi-support depends on: ii acpi-support-base 0.109-9 scripts for handling base ACPI eve ii acpid 1.0.6-16 Utilities for using ACPI power man ii dmidecode 2.9-1 Dump Desktop Management Interface ii finger 0.17-12 user information lookup program ii hdparm 8.9-2 tune hard disk parameters for high ii laptop-detect 0.13.6 attempt to detect a laptop ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii powermgmt-base 1.30 Common utils and configs for power ii vbetool 1.0-3 run real-mode video BIOS code to a ii x11-xserver-utils 7.3+5 X server utilities Versions of packages acpi-support recommends: ii dbus 1.2.1-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal 0.5.11-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii nvclock 0.8b3-1 Allows you to overclock your nVidi ii pm-utils 1.1.2.4-1 utilities and scripts for power ma ii radeontool 1.5-5 utility to control ATI Radeon back ii toshset 1.73-3 Access much of the Toshiba laptop Versions of packages acpi-support suggests: pn laptop-mode-tools <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
