Re: screen doesn't lock anymore when lid closed
I also tried adding HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=lock and now i have commented both out and made a new file /etc/systemd/logind.d/lidswitch.conf with: HandleLidSwitch=lock HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=lock rebooted and it still is ignored.
screen doesn't lock anymore when lid closed
I just upgraded stable -> testing and now my screen doesn't lock anymore when I close the laptop lid. I already (still) have HandleLidSwitch=lock in /etc/systemd/logind.conf but it seems to be ignored now. Is it a Gnome issue? super+L still locks the screen. Anything else i can check? Thanks
cannot disable compiz
i wanted to try out compiz after updating to squeeze, but unfortunately it's not too stable on my old system and the WM crashes regularly. so, i'd like to revert back to the default WM. i followed http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz to try compiz and now i should be able to revert back by using this command: gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager gnome-wm for some reason though, when i reboot and log back in compiz is still loading. i've checked the gconf setting and it is indeed set to gnome-wm so i'm not sure what's going on. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

reduce crypt partition
i need a little help reducing my crypt partition. when i first installed debian, i used a rather standard /boot on /dev/hda1 and crypt on /dev/hda2, using LVM for the rest of the partitions. i've been following this[1] resize guide and i am at step 5, having already resized my logical LVM root and physical LVM volumes successfully. /boot is about 230M and the rest (~39G) is allocated for crypt. inside crypt i now have a 20G physical LVM volume with 512M swap and 10G root logical volumes, and ~10G free space. now i just want to reduce crypt so it is also about 20G, leaving the rest of the ~19G as free space on the drive. the final step it seems, before praying, is to delete /dev/hda2 with fdisk and recreate it with the smaller size. i'm wondering what the correct size should be; i'm afraid i might make it too small and then corrupt everything somehow. i don't have the same layout as in the guide since ubuntu does it a little differently with extended partitions, so a little assistance going through fdisk would be appreciated. below is some info from fdisk and LVM, let me know if you need more info. thanks so much 1. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions#Detailed_resizing_.2BAH4_Reducing_an_encrypted_partition $ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x3f423f42 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux /dev/hda2 32486438821072+ 83 Linux Disk /dev/dm-0: 39.7 GB, 39751725568 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4832 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/dm-1: 10.8 GB, 10850664448 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1319 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/dm-2: 536 MB, 536870912 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 65 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Disk /dev/dm-2 doesn't contain a valid partition table $ sudo pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/dm-0 VG Name graveyard PV Size 20.00 GB / not usable 3.81 MB Allocatable NO PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 5119 Free PE 2404 Allocated PE 2715 PV UUID HMRsf8-1ePs-J33c-4tQu-7MtA-V6dv-O0U10R $ sudo lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name/dev/graveyard/root VG Namegraveyard LV UUIDC7bLop-WiHU-dwRy-3jBR-k1QP-rQEH-X9Zchr LV Write Accessread/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size10.11 GB Current LE 2587 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:1 --- Logical volume --- LV Name/dev/graveyard/swap_1 VG Namegraveyard LV UUIDyyUTnD-JVGR-BzVb-krSR-Mswq-aYoE-9YYfJt LV Write Accessread/write LV Status available # open 2 LV Size512.00 MB Current LE 128 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Apple iBook power management
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 i installed squeeze-powerpc on an Apple ibook g4, breathed new life into this little guy that Apple has kicked to the curb. i installed gnome, configured the proprietary wifi drivers, and setup a right-click for the mouse, and it's all working well. although it doesn't seem to detect that there's a battery or something. if i go into the power management settings, there's no tab for 'on battery power'. if i unplug the AC power, the little icon doesn't change into a battery, it just stays as a plug. i'm pretty sure during the installation i told it to install the 'laptop' role so i'm not sure what's causing this, or even what to search for as a solution -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iEYEAREIAAYFAk5KD+4ACgkQXhfCJNu98qBnXACfSTRM7XfZO0YUcj4XG4t5kN2j re8AoJz5ZFkp6kVAD/udn4fpYq8hx40l =JVOz -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
