I'm using xfce, and the power manager settings, to only lock the screen when close, are not honored. The laptop suspends, no matter what, when closed. Is there a way to forcibily only allow xfce power manager to handle the close lid behavior?

Dell Latitude C610 laptop with Debian Squeeze.I am using the computer as a print and file server, accessing it with ssh, so I don't need the display (which is busted anyway). I want to close the lid without having the computer suspend. Could not find a way to make it happen with gnome-power-preferences or the BIOS settings. There is a script, /etc/acpi/lid.sh, that runs when the laptop lid switch changes. Part of the script is shown here:
Code: Select allgrep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state # this is a file of 1 line like "state:Â Â open" or presumably "state:Â Â closed"
 if [ $? = 0 ]                # The brackets evaluate to True when the lid is closed.
then
  if [ x$LID_SLEEP = xtrue ]; then
    [ -x /etc/acpi/sleep.sh ] && /etc/acpi/sleep.sh # i.e., if this file exists, then run it.
    exit
  fi
... there's more ...
Â
The stuff that gets executed after the if [ #$ = 0 ] is the stuff that suspends the computer. So I just replaced the brackets with something that is certain to be false, so it will never happen:
Code: Select allif [ 1 = 2 ]
I admit this is FAR from an elegant solution, but it seems to work and it doesn't fubar the system.

I am using a minimal version of 9.04 with openbox.
So I have this laptop with a busted battery, I'm trying to get it into some kind of headless server, media topbox hybrid.
First thing I want to do is being able to leave it shut (powered on) in the corner without having to interact with it directly.
I've setup ssh and vnc so to login remotely and do task, transfer files and etc.
However there is a little issue with the laptop lid down upon turning it on, it immediately goes into suspend when getting to the display manager, which is 'lightdm'.
I suppose this is the default setting for Xorg and as such my custom configs for KDE only kick in after I login.
Question is: I never seen configuration for default power management stuff being done in Xorg, is there some way to disable automatic suspension on lid down?
Another question is: After the KDE kicks in does it always replace power options? I have setup a xorg.conf file specifying dpms options but these don't seem to remain.

I suppose the i915 stuff is something I can ignore, However
Code: Select all[Â 570.768020] acpi device:40: Cannot transition to power state D3hot for parent in (unknown)

So despite the mysterious issue with acpi device 40, how is real lid close different from "systemctl suspend"? And can I simply workaround the issue by making such a suspend when the lid closes?
I don't know if these are related, but I have had occasional lockups, where no input has any effect and then it shuts down, and am usually unable to resume from suspend on closing the lid.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm running debian unstable and since there was the switch to dependency based boot I can no longer control my boot services.I used to suppress the services that I use rarely during boot with: sudo update-rc.d -f myservice remove This arranged the links in /etc/rc?.d and everything worked.
Now this command only says: update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing.This seems to work until I upgrade the service to a new version and it is enabled again.Do you have any idea of how to disable boot services permanently with the new system?
Howto disable IPV6 in Lenny?

I've been using Debian since the early days of Lenny being testing as OS on the same Computer. Its a Acer Aspire Notebook with switches for wireless and bluetooth. While booting Lenny my wireless and bluetooth stayed off as long as I didn't switch them on. But since squeeze they get activated ( you can see it by looking at the LED's ) the moment after the grub screen. I now do have to turn bluetooth and wireless off by hand everytime which is quite annoying since I mostly use eth0.
how to disable bluetooth and wireless per default in a way I can simply turn them back on by using the switch?
So from a web server stand point if we start using swap for httpd or mysql its bad and performance goes down the drain. So would it be a good or bad idea to disable swap entirely?

Until a while ago, I had to problems sshing into my laptop, whose static IP is 192.168.1.64. I scp'ed a few files from it to my desktop, whose static IP is 192.168.1.22. Then, suddenly, I started getting a "destination host unreachable" error. I also get the same error when I try to ping the laptop. I verified that the ssh daemon was running on the laptop, and even rebooted, but I am still getting the error.
I didn't install any upgrades or edit any configuration files on the laptop between the time that ssh was working and when it stopped working.
Otherwise, networking works on the laptop. In fact, I am writing this post from it. It is as if my laptop suddenly decided to block incoming traffic.
