[SOLVED] Lid doesn't suspend anymore with xfce power manager

The options "When laptop lid is closed" are set to suspend (and used to work), but still, when I close my lid, nothing happens. Using the logout dialog or the suspend button my keyboard works. Is it a problem with xfce-power-manager, or ACPI not registering the lid event anymore? Any idea how to fix that?
[edit]
I solved that problem by removing ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml, killing the power manager and reloging in my session to flush the settings. Then I reconfigured the lid closed action to suspend (and everything else to my liking).

Sorry to bother you again, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore...
Somehow it can't lock the GNOME session, because when I enter the above line from /etc/acpi/handler.sh manually as root in TTY1, I get this error:
** Message: Failed to get session bus: Befehlszeile »dbus-launch --autolaunch=c9375f4ea0008d92177b28db000009ae --binary-syntax --close-stderr« brach mit von Null verschiedenem Beenden-Status 1 ab: No protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n
If I enter this command inside GNOME, everything works just fine, it locks the screen and suspends.
EDIT:
Setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable properly did the trick. Therefore, I borrowed some lines from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … losing_lid

  • [SOLVED] Laptop doesn't suspend anymore when closing lid [GNOME 3]

    Hi there!
    Since I upgraded to GNOME 3 recently, my laptop (Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG) doesn't suspend anymore when I close the lid. Instead, it just turns off the screen. If I choose suspend from the menu, it does suspend properly.
    I googled a bit and found out that the option what to do on closing the lid was dropped in GNOME 3, setting suspend as default action. That's exactly what I want...
    Also, I checked that option via gnome-tweak-tool and dconf-editor, and (surprise!) it was set to 'suspend'.
    Anyone got an idea what to do to make it suspend again on closing the lid?

  • [Solved] Alac doesn't work anymore with Gstreamer0.10

    Apple Loseless Audio Codec support seems to be broken for me in the 0.10 branch of gstreamer. Before I was able to play ALAC files in rhythmbox and banshee but it does not work anymore. I think the support for ALAC files is integrated in the package gstreamer-ffmpeg.
    This problem does't seems to occur in the 1.0 branch of gstreamer as ALAC files work with Totem and it also work with vlc which use dirrectly ffmpeg.
    Does someone have the same problem or is it a problem with my system ?
    I tried to reinstall gstreamer0.10 and all plugins but it didn't solve the problem.

  • Yoga 2 pro / win8.1 - "Compatibility issue with your power management system"

     Hi,
    After downgrading form win10 back to 8.1 due to endless driver malfunction and a significant decrease in overall performance, I got this message in windows action center: “Compatibility issue with your power management system”. When I click on it it says: This solution could not be downloaded
    Most likely causes:
    • Your computer was unable to download the solution at this time. Check to make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, and then try to download the solution again later. As you can see, my internet connection is fine. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks,
    Daniel

    Check if installing this helps you:
    http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/em8.0.2.3.exe
    If you already did this, check if you can do this BIOS update as well:
    http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/5ecn96ww.exe
    Let me know if it works.

  • Z40-70 compatibility issue with your power management system

    I noticed today that the Action Center says "Compatibility issue with your power management system." The description underneath is: Your power management system isn't working peoperly because a compatible driver is not available for this version of Windows. When I click on View message details it just says "Your computer was unable to download the solution at this time. Check to make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, and then try to download the solution again later." All power related functionalities however seem to be working. Battery is charging; battery percentage is showing; I can adjust screen brightness. I am not sure when exactly this problem started but it defenitely was not there before. Tried downloading and fixing the Power Management Software and updating BIOS. Still have the same message. System: Windows 8.1 64-bit 

    What model do you have? Can you post your MTM or model name?
    Sometimes these messages are a false alarm.

  • Most of the .mov and .AVI files doesn't play anymore with QT 7 or 10

    I'm running OS 10.7.5 and most of the .mov files that were generated with Quicktime 7 doesn't play anymore, except in VLC.
    I used QT7 because it can still crop and edit videos, instead of QT 10 that came with the system.
    QT7 has a also a very nice feature that allow to reset the image ratio, which is sometime very usefull.
    I shall say that videos came from a digital recorder I used to tape the TV and those files came as .AVI
    Anyway, overnight (probably after an update of iTunes or any part of the system) QT 7 nor 10 can play those files anymore !
    Each time I try to open a file with QT it says I need a codec, and leads to the DIVX download page, but installing this codec doesn't solve my problem.
    QT7 was a very fine software and worked until now.
    Why an update makes my system go backward ??!?
    I'm a huge fan of Apple, but that is not acceptable !!!
    It just makes me want to purchase on older mac and go back to 10.6 !!!
    Shame on you Apple !

    Indeed, a further search on the side lead me to this page :
    http://perian.org/
    and now it works again !
    I still don't get how an update could change the system like this.
    Anyway, thanks for the reply

  • Snow Leopard as PXE server doesn't work anymore with Debian Lenny

    Hello
    I was using a box with Mac OS X 10.6.2 as a PXE boot server, providing a Debian Etch installer as boot image.
    I wanted to upgrade to the Debian Lenny PXE image, but it doesn't work anymore.
    I m not sure how I can debug that. I m a sure of one thing, switching for the Debian Etch image to the Debian Lenny one triggers those kernel log messages during the PXE boot, and the host who tried to boot hanged ( a Virtualbox VM).

    My /private/tftpboot/ tree is created from the http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/n etboot/netboot.tar.gz archive. I used http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/ netboot/netboot.tar.gz for the Debian Lenny tree.
    So, can someone help me ?

    I disabled bootp. In verbose and debug, everything seems to go well. The option 128 isn't accepted by the daemon, i disabled it too, the TFTP server is the same server than the DHCP, so it still works.
    Here s the log when using the Debian Lenny image, almost the same than with Debian Etch image.

  • Xperia Neo media server doesn't work anymore with Sony Bravia TV after ICS update!

    Xperia Neo (MT15i) updated from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431). I did not perform any reset (factory settings) after the update.
    Media server does not work anymore with Sony Bravia TV KDL40-NX700. With 2.3.4 it worked correctly before.
    When I start the media server on my Xperia Neo and try to view my photos on my Bravia TV it shows connection, I am also able to view different folders on the Smartphone but when it tries to load the photos in any folder on the Smartphone it stops working after a while. Feedback on TV is "cannot connect to media sever". The same procedure worked without any problems when using 2.3.4 before.
    Is this a known issue and is there any solution for this?

    Wow that is a new one, great find!
    I wish I had tested that with my Ray, as I had used the media server feature quite a bit with my DirecTV receiver when on Gingerbread.  But too late, it's on the way back to Sony to get rolled back to Gingerbread.
    Too many other problems with ICS that have crippled my device.
    1) Wi-Fi Hotspot does not work anymore
    2) USB tethering does not work anymore
    3) LED notification issues for incoming SMS
    4) Dialer slow to load
    5) HD Video recording skip frames and jitter.
    6) Bluetooth AVRCP profile broke (can't use the play/pause button on my car stereo anymore)
    If you have not done so take a look at the above features and see what you turn up.

  • AirPrint doesn't work anymore with iOS 8

    wwith iOS 8 update, AirPrint doesnt work anymore with HP printer.  Lenova pc works fine.   Any ideas what to do?

    Hello there, Bkurowski818.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting AirPrint issues:
    About AirPrint - Apple Support
    For best results
    Make sure your software is up to date. For iOS, verify that your device is using the latest version of iOS available and that the app you're printing from is up to date. For OS X, Use Software Update to update OS X and apps you've purchased from the Mac App Store.
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of an Apple AirPort Base Station or AirPort Time Capsule are not supported with AirPrint. Connect your AirPrint printer to your network using Wi-Fi, or connect it to a LAN port on your AirPort device using Ethernet.
    Make sure that your AirPrint printer is connected to your network before attempting to print. Some AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a network after being turned on.
    If you're unable to print
    Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
    Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
    Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
    Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
    Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
    Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
    The information below is provided by each manufacturer and is updated once a month by Apple. You can use the Find feature of your web browser (usually Command-F) to search for a specific device in this list. If you don't see your printer or server listed, check with the printer manufacturer for more information.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • SOLVE strange problem with suspend and resume with gnome-power-manager

    I have pm-utils and gnome installed.
    Suspending and hibernation works well from the command line ($ pm-hibernate and $ pm-suspend).  Resuming works without any problems.
    Suspending from gnome "Shutdown dialog" works perfectly as well.
    However, if suspending is initiated by gnome-power-manager something strange happens:  After pressing the power button resuming switches to hibernation and my laptop turns off.  Resuming from disk works fine again.
    Now, suspending works fine again if I change and save any config file in /etc/pm/.
    Here comes the strange thing:  It doesn't really matter what I change as long as I save it.
    However, as soon as I reboot resuming fails again the way I described above.
    Anyone have a clue what's going on?
    I get no error messages and I've tried all sorts of boot entries.

    After some try and error my guess is that "HAL" is responsible for this problem:
    I deinstalled ACPID and 'pm-utils' and switched to 'uswsusp'.
    I made the appropriate changes to the appropriate hal-scrips
    usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend:
    #!/bin/sh
    /sbin/s2ram --force
    usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate:
    #!/bin/sh
    /sbin/s2disk
    After these changes I still have the same problem:  immidiatly after resuming form suspend (via power-button) my laptop hibernates (s2disk).
    However, if I delete all entries in "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" resuming from suspend works fine again, but hibernate doesn't of course.  So, some script must be calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" emmediatly after resuming from suspend.
    A couple of weeks ago everything worked fine.  My guess is that one of the recent hal-updates is causing this.
    How can I figure what script is calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" after resuming from suspend?

  • Issue with KDE power management plugin and battery monitor widget

    Hi everyone, I'm having troubles with the battery monitor widget on KDE: since I have installed the DM I get an error message during the startup saying that "no valid power management backend plugin is available", so I can't get my battery monitor working. Does anyone know how could I do to have this problem solved?

  • T60p - Chirping noise with CPU power management

    I've bought a T60p which produces a chirping noise when running on battery. The high frequency noise is disturbing when working with the device, especially in silent surroundings.
    I've already contacted the Lenovo Support and they advised me to turn off CPU power management in the BIOS which indeed removes the noise. However, the cost is a significantly reduced battery time.
    First the Lenovo guys offered me a high capacity battery to compensate the shorter run time but then they refused and stated that my computer "works as designed" and that "Lenovo doesn't accept warranty".
    I can't believe that this is true. IBM and the ThinkPads have been recognized for their excellent quality and customer service for many years. That's why I bought a TP despite it was way more expensive than other Notebooks. Is Lenovo really not interested in keeping the excellent reputation that IBM formerly had? I'd be very interested in a statement of a Lenovo official on this issue...

    > every CD/C2D processor makes this noise regardless of notebook manufacturer.
    Nope, not every. There are C2D ThinkPads and other manufacturer notebooks without this defect. Sometimes noise level is higher, sometimes lower, sometimes completely silent if you are lucky enough...
    amaso, I have the same problem on my brand new T60p, and found a better solution. Try to download RMClock and disable PopUp mode in CPU advanced settings. This eliminated the noise for me and power management still is working.

  • T430 unable to sleep with Lenovo Power Manager installed

    I have a T430 with Windows 8 installed with the latest BIOS and Lenovo Power Manager installed, and anytime I try to put the computer to sleep(with Fn+F4 or lid close), the laptop enters a stage where the screen is black and the fan continues to run. There's no way to interact/escape this except for holding down the power button.
    After uninstalling Lenovo Power Manager, the sleep function works again, but the Mic Mute and caps-lock on screen display stop working in addition to the LED in the MicMute refusing to light up.
    Is there any fix to this?

    I'm having the same problem. I've tried all the updates and still have the problem. Sometimes it will sleep, other times it won't. Sometimes when it is trying to sleep I get a bluescreen for "DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE."
