Hi Martin, I have exactly the same symptoms as Tristan in comment #14 and #16, except that I have regular desktop PC. Other symptoms are that all login process takes very long time (welcome screen, login name selection, desktop initialization). My daemon.log has plenty of "devkit-power- gobject-WARNING" lines: "Couldn't enumerate devices" and "Error invoking GetAll() to get properties".
r...@evergreen:[myhome]# uname -a Linux evergreen 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux r...@evergreen:[myhome]# ps -A -o pid,ppid,stat,wchan,args | grep power-daemon 1880 1 D down /usr/lib/devicekit-power/devkit-power-daemon 5392 4844 R+ - grep power-daemon As you can see devkit-power-daemon is in uninterruptible state and kill -9 does not work. Is there any way to provide you with any output showing the root cause of these delays and timeouts? Is there any way to disable this thing all together to get rid of annoying delays during bootup and runtime? Since I'm on desktop which is actually functioning as my home 24*7 server I don't really care about power management.
