General :: Manually Generate A Fake ACPI Lid Event From A Script?
Jul 4, 2010I'm trying to make sure that my laptop will suspend if I unplug it after the lid is already closed, and I believe that one way to accomplish this would be to simulate an ACPI lid event when the power adapter is plugged or unplugged. In order to do this, I need to find a command that will generate a fake ACPI lid event. Is there any such command?

Oct 6, 2010The remote for my Pinnacle PCTV HD 800i is generating key code 116 for the power button on it, and acpid (debian/squeeze 2.0.6-1) merrily accepts this as if I pressed the power button on the case. It raises the same event "button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000" either way, so I can't tweak the handlers to respond to one or the other. And I don't think the source event source is available to the handlers.
acpid doesn't seem configurable at all in terms of ignoring an event source, and I don't know if you can selectively remap keys from a particular event source. Most of what I find are people try to get buttons to work, not disable them. Not that it seems to make any difference, but it's mapped to void in dumpkeys.
Code:
keycode 116 = Do
altgr control keycode 116 = VoidSymbol
shift alt keycode 116 = VoidSymbol
I have it remapped in X for use in mythtv using xmodmap, which works fine. The acpid that came with debian/lenny didn't do this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Hardware :: ACPI Power Button Config Ignored
Sep 28, 2015I have an Asus EEE Box EB1012 running Debian Jessie (headless with no GUI installed).
I'm trying to get the power button on the front of the machine to put the computer in suspend.
If I run pm-suspend from the command line, it suspends correctly and also recovers correctly by pressing the hardware power button.
Originally, pressing the power button (while running) would shut the computer down.
The acpi power button event script was set to run the command "/sbin/shutdown -h -P now".
I changed it to "/usr/sbin/pm-suspend", and restarted the acpi service/rebooted the computer (I tried both), but the power button still cause the computer to shut down.
I also tried setting no action (empty string) for the power button event, but still the power button caused shutdown.
Is the acpi system getting bypassed somehow? Is there another system to configure instead?
Slackware :: Lack Of Event Sounds In Slackware Builds Of Xfce
Jan 25, 2011I was over in the Desktop forum yesterday and apparently 'event sounds' are available for Xfce and are part of the original package, but I've never seen them made available, that is, the switch to turn them on isn't where it is suppose to be, in any Slackware specific package of Xfce.I've used 4.61 that came with Slackware64 13.1, 4.61 from the Salix depository, 4.62 from Mr. Workman, 4.62 from 'current' and recently 4.8 from Mr. Workman. None of these make the 'event sounds' available.

Slackware :: Using XFCE Got The Event Sounds To Work?
Jan 24, 2011I know that this not a Slackware question, but since Slackware 13.1 has XFCE 4.6.2 in its standard installation I just ask here. I have a problem with the event sounds in XFCE 4.6.2 on Debian Sid. I already have a thread about this problem here, and couldn't solve it till now. I need to know if this issue is related to Debian or to XFCE, before I ask at the XFCE mailing list. So just one simple question: Has any one of you that is using XFCE got the event sounds to work?

wmpower displays the messages:

Feb 12, 2011I have a custom built 2.6.37 kernel where I have most of my devices compiled into the kernel. The only modules are related to nouveau (in case I want to go back to proprietary nvidia) and sound drivers. Everything seems to be running fine. However, in /proc/acpi, I'm missing a number of entries, such as thermal_zone/, dsdt, etc. I do have ac_adapter/, battery/, button/, event, processor/ and wakeup.

Slackware :: 13.37: Crazy Flashing Screen After ACPI Resume?
May 6, 2011Slackware 13.37 is giving me ugly suspend/resume problems.When I suspend to RAM and my laptop wakes up again, I get a corrupt screen flashing like crazy.This happens when I suspend from the console and when in X11; be it by issuing 'echo mem >/sys/power/state' or 'pm-suspend'.Tried the 'save-pci' quirk for 'pm-suspend', no dice.Tried to POST the card with 'vbetool' after resume, no dice. Tried to save/restore vbestate before and after suspend/resume, no dice.What is one supposed to do to get this stuff to work in 2011?Funny thing that suspend-to-disk works as it should.Also, with 12.2 I would pick a VGA mode for the console in 'lilo.conf' and it would freaking stick. Not anymore. Now the 1st half of the boot is performed in my chosen mode (80x30), then it switches to maximum resolution with an idiotically unsightly small font.My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5101 with an ATI Radeon 200M card.Is anyone going thru the same hell or has anyone found a fix?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: During Boot After In Loads ACPI Thermal Zone?
Oct 11, 2010It's only been a couple of days since I formatted my toshiba laptop's hard drive (i was running fedora without significant problems) and installed slackware 13.1 32bit. I did a network install because the dvd drive is not functioning properly. everything installed fine with the hugesmp kernel, but I started not being able to boot the laptop every single time I wanted to (especially after a reboot but also after a power up).
my observations:
-the pc might freeze in the very first toshiba logo screen (where you are prompted to press F2 to enter BIOS)
-or it might freeze when I get the lilo boot loader (not even the count down to choose kernel starts) - but i CAN use the arrows and press 'enter' to choose to load a kernel manually
-or just after it loads the kernel and the bios checks
-or during boot after in loads ACPI thermal zone
-or a little later during boot when the dhcpcd if broadcasting for a dhcp lease.
the first 3 are freezes, the last 2 are resets. especially if i need to reboot (or get the resets of the 2 last case), I will surely get stack in one of the first 3 cases afterwards! i have observed that rarely, after such a reset, if it actually gets stack in the toshiba logo, i might be able - pressing the poiwer buttonj repeatedly to actually overcome the 'freezing' there at which time i'll get to the lilo loader (the count down timer will not.. count down), but i can press 'enter' and I will finally get stack after loading the kernel and bios checks
So I have to powerdown the laptop and start all over again. Sometimes the whole boot process will proceed smoothly. and i'll get to a login prompt, and when I do I can keep the laptop up and running for virtually ever. that is it doesn't seem to be slackware related... Hwever the problems started after I installed slackware. I didn't have any problem with the fedora installation and i wonder if it has something to do with the network boot.... additional note, with feodra i didn't have a problem restarting or shutting down the laptop. now if i restart, the pc will go through the process of shutting down, but it will never actually reboot - i'll have to do it manually..
Slackware :: Custom Kernel And Acpi / Thermal Settings - Fan Running Constantly
Jun 5, 2010this isn't so much slackware specific as it is general linux related, but using the default huge slackware kernel included with 13.1, acpi reports cpu temps of about 55 celsius i always like to run my own kernels though, and using the latest stable kernel, i have compiled one using what i believe is necessary for my hardware, and everything works as expected except that acpi reports my cpu temp as 80 celsius at idle, causing my fan to be running constantly
so without simply using the generic config included with slack in the newer kernel, what do you think might be causing the thermal issues? i used diff on the two configs and the output is over 5,000 lines, so thats not a huge help, and im really not even sure what to be looking for the cpu is an intel i7 720qm, so if anyone might know any specific settings for that processor type needed for acpi to interface with it properly that would be much obliged here is my config for potential review: [URL] also, if i disable acpi entirely, the fan operates as normal but i cannot get readings obviously

Slackware :: How To Detect Keylogger
Jun 4, 2011I have to deal with a fairly psychopathic and untrustworthy person who is unfortunately the company's computer security expert, who is also an admitted hacker. I recently installed Slackware to prevent him from spying on my basic activities, deleting my windows and moving my mouse pointer, as he did when I had Windows on my PC. However I now need to make sure he isn't going to do the same with my Slackware installation. Other than reinstalling Slackware periodically, what can I do to detect spyware like a keylogger, or to detect that he has rootkitted commonly used parts of the distro to provide a backdoor etc? BTW I've never considered encrypted a hard drive but now that I'm dealing with this idiot I would be open to that.

Slackware :: Iwl3945 Power Savings ?
May 6, 2010I'm having problems trying to turn on the power saving on my intel 3945ABG wireless chip with the iwl3945 module. if i remember correctly, i used to be able to have the power levels adjusted before with previous releases / kernel (i started caring about power savings back again after getting a new battery).
keying 'iwconfig wlan0 power on' returns Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C): SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
And 'iwpriv wlan0 power' returns wlan0 no private ioctls
Is there something i'm missing or does the chip/module doesnt support power saving features?
Slackware :: No Network After Power Outage
Jun 21, 2010I have a slackware 12.2 server. We had some really rough storms this weekend that took the power out for many hours. The UPS that it was connect to gave up the ghost and the server went down hard. I powered up the unit and it some up fine but with no network. Ifconfig -a shows that it only knows about the lo interface. Both integrated gig ethernet ports are missing. I am not a slackware expert. Need to figure out what is needed to get it back on the network. dmesg | grep eth0 shows nothing. Nor eth1. ifconfig eth0 returns no such device.

Apr 17, 2010I've got a new netbook - Dell Inspiron mini 1011. I have installed slackware 13 on it. According to dell's website its battery should last up to 9 hours:Quote:Mini 10 offers up to 9.5 hours of battery life1 to keep you on the go.I understand that it depends on a variety of factors and these are just testing estimations that will probably never be achieved IRL.For 95% of the time I don't run X on it. Just emacs (gnus), nethack, elinks. If I do run X, it's fluxbox. The average battery time is 2hrs - 2.5hrs. I understand that Slackware 13 is not designed specifically for netbooks, but 2hrs is way off the 9-hour estimation. Either the battery is faulty, or it's the power management issue. Before I deal with the battery, I'd like to ask you for some suggestions on improving the power management. The acpi and acpid are installed on the system. Are there any packages that would improve the battery performance? Or perhaps some config options?I believe that recompiling the kernel would improve it, wouldn't it? What options I'd have to set/unset?P.S.Unfortunately, once I checked the netbook is ok, I removed WinXP that came with it, so can't compare with it.

Slackware :: HD Constantly Spinning When On Battery Power
Dec 27, 2010I'm running the latest slackware64-current on my Dell laptop (Inspiron 1420). I rarely run it on battery power, so I don't know when this behavior started, but now it seems when I'm on battery power the hard drive likes to spin down and then spin up. This is not after 5 minutes or so of inactivity. This is 30 seconds of inactivity because I'm reading a web page or something. There is a noticable delay in the response of the system as a whole when the drive is having to spin back up. I'm also using xfce-4.6.2 with the xfce power manager. I've checked the settings, and I don't see anything about spinning down the hard drives. I've also looked through some ACPI rules, but I'm coming up empty.
