Suspend (to RAM as well as disk) regression on T41p
Last modified: 2007-04-26 16:05:32 UTC
On my T41p, suspend to RAM and suspend to disk, when triggered via the function keys (<Fn>+<F4> and <Fn>+<F12>) do not work as expected. For example, when coming up again from the suspend state, the system often goes back and performs suspensions as the very first action. Seife knows what the problem is and how to fix it. :-)
(Would you mind describing the solution here and then ask AJ for approval for an update? PM is very supportive of that. :-)
The problem is, that since the kpowersave update, kpowersave handles (among others) the IBM ACPI sleep / hibernate keys (Danny, please correct me if i am wrong). OTOH, powersaved and its thinkpad_acpi_events script also handle these buttons. IIRC, Holger has already fixed this in the repository, but we had not considered an update yet, since it only hits a small minority of users, and is easily worked around by either "insserv -r powersaved" or "rm /usr/lib/powersave/scripts/thinkpad_acpi_events" or setting EVENT_OTHER=ignore in /etc/powersave/events
