Hi, I think this isn't a splashy bug.
IMO, the bug seems to be with the follwing line in the acpid init script. ACPID="/usr/sbin/acpid" Here's whats happening with the above line as it is: + pidof acpid + acpi_pid=6441 + [ ! -z 6441 ] + [ -x /etc/init.d/acpid ] + invoke-rc.d acpid force-reload Reloading ACPI services...No /usr/sbin/acpid found running; none killed. invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "force-reload" failed. + true + pidof apmd + apm_pid= r...@champaran:/var/tmp/Debian/pytagsfs$ pidof acpid 6441 And then, I change the line to: ACPID="/usr/sbin/acpid" r...@champaran:/var/tmp/Debian/pytagsfs$ sudo vim /etc/init.d/acpid r...@champaran:/var/tmp/Debian/pytagsfs$ pidof acpid 6441 And bingo, it works. + pidof acpid + acpi_pid=6441 + [ ! -z 6441 ] + [ -x /etc/init.d/acpid ] + invoke-rc.d acpid force-reload + pidof apmd + apm_pid= Here's the code: case "$1" in configure) acpi_pid=`pidof acpid` if [ ! -z $acpi_pid ]; then if [ -x /etc/init.d/acpid ]; then invoke-rc.d acpid force-reload || true fi fi PS: On the machine, where I faced the issue (and have gathered these test results from), does not have splashy installed.
