This brings up a problem (my first in 10.3) that I'm having. In 10.1 and 10.2, KPowersave Just Worked on my hp dv6000 laptop. I installed 10.3 Saturday, and after an idle period, it suspended to disk just fine, as far as I can tell. Since then, it has not shut down at all. Until yesterday, it at least locked the screen after the usual time of idleness, or when I closed the lid. Today, it stopped doing even that. I opened the lid after several hours, and there was my session ready to go where I had left off. Thinking I'd messed up the KPowersave configuration somehow, I opened it to reconfigure it. _Everything_ is now grayed out. I can't do anything. Recalling the recent comment that 10.3 uses PM, I started reading up to try fixing things. In summary, /etc/pm/config.d, sleep,d, and power.d are all empty. I can't find any documentation to tell me what to put into them. There's a lot of text about bash scripts, being careful not to touch /usr/lib/pm, etc. Nothing about what to put into /etc/pm/*. http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram doesn't help at any level I can understand; in fact, running the advised s2ram --test says my machine is not supported. en.opensuse.org/Projects_KPowersave is even less help. I looked at /var/log/pm-suspend.log, and all I can confidently understand is that it went to hibernation at 15:07 Saturday, which more or less matches my recollection. The list of steps it executed seemed to be in the correct order as far as I can see. This seems to me to imply that it had instruction from somewhere, but I can't find any that I can understand, unless it's the defaults in /usr/lib/pm (which I don't really understand). I really would like to get my laptop's powersave working correctly again. I have to go on a long trip at the end of November, and I don't want my battery life shortened between stops at a power source. Help?
