I thought I chime in with some more goodies thats making my experience on Jaunty a whole lot better when it comes to this stuff. The application "powerdevil" just didn't want to work for me out of the box. I did manage to get it working (somewhat) by installing "cpufrequtils". This definitely got "When the system is idle for more than [N]" working but everything else just felt broken. The power/sleep buttons do nothing (absolutely nothing, system shuts down instead), I didn't see my displays exhibit power management, etc *but* thats fine.
What I was after was this behavior. 1. press the power button and "suspend to ram". 2. wake up to a locked screen. No matter though, powerdevil wouldn't get the lock screen right until I installed "cpufrequtils". Then I had to do one more thing. a big temporary hack I hope *but* I copied /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh to /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh__backup and replaced the contents of the original file with the following. #!/bin/sh # no logic, just hope to lockup and suspend. KDE4.2 qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock pm-suspend Well, now, the powerbutton on the box when tapped, locks up and suspends just fine. When I resume, I come back to a locked screen.I would really like to start removing these hacks though and just see Kubuntu work pretty much out of the box. Can someone offer some better solutions? I would appreciate it! Thanks! PS. selecting suspend to ram from kickoff still wakes up without a prompt for a password. Although I may not be using powerdevil directly to suspend using either method, it will suspend after X amount of time and will resume with the screen locked but thats about it with powerdevil :/ -- [MSI MS-7374] suspend/resume failure [non-free: nvidia] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334644 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
