Title:
XF86Standby does not trigger hibernate or sleep
Status in The Somerville Project:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “gnome-power-manager” source package in Intrepid:
Fix Released
Bug description:
IMPACT:
On an Inspiron 1420 (and possibly other Dell models), the Standby key
(Fn+F1 in my case, with a little half-moon on it) does not trigger a
standby action (Hibernate or Sleep).
Both hibernate and sleep actions *can* be triggered from the battery
icon, and will properly suspend and resume.
Running xev, the key is detected and forwarded up to Gnome by X, so I
believe X is doing whatever it's supposed to do. The output from xev
is:
KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
root 0x7b, subw 0x0, time 7902503, (870,331), root:(876,404),
state 0x4, keycode 213 (keysym 0x1008ff10, XF86Standby), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
I can also hook XF86Standby to other Gnome actions, like launching the
help browser, using gnome-keybinding-properties, and it successfully
launches the help browser. So the key events are getting handled and
propagated. However, from what I understand, hooking the key to
Suspend in gnome-keybinding-properties is an obsolete way for setting
this up. Regardless, it doesn't work anyway; the event seems to get
lost somewhere in gdm and never runs the /usr/sbin/pm-suspend command
that it seems to be configured to trigger. Running that command from
the console does work at triggering sleep though.
ADDRESSING:
This bug has been addressed via a one-line patch to gnome-power-
manager. Jaunty is unaffected because HAL send XF86Standby as dbus
event.
TEST CASE:
To reproduce this bug, try pressing the key that corresponds to
XF86Standby.
REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
There is no regression potential. This patch simply enables a hotkey
that was disabled (and mislabeled) previously.
