Hi,I tried to get powersave 0.15.19 (for which unfortunately no official tarball exists, had to extract it from the SUSE srpm) running for Debian. The current solution with kpowersave 0.7 and powersave 0.14.x is suboptimal, as they both don't really work nicely together.
The versions I used are liblazy 0.2 powersave 0.15.9 hal 0.5.10 PolicyKit 0.7 This combination doesn't seem to work, at least running powersave -u yields User is not allowed for hal-power-suspend according to PolicyKit.It looks like user_binary/powersave.cpp still uses old-style calls to PK, e.g. liblazy_hal_is_caller_privileged("hal-power-hibernate")
So, what's your plan with regard to powersave? Will it be adapted for PK 0.7? And why does user_binary/powersave.cpp contact PK at all for Suspend/Hibernate? I mean, HAL does this checks already. Wouldn't it make more sense, to simply call the HAL method, and if you get a PermissionDeniedByPolicy error, talks to PK, let the user authenticate and acquire the Suspend/Hibernate permission and try again.
At least that's how I understood it should work [1] Cheers, Michael [1] http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit/model-theory-of-operation.html -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
