I now believe, based on the mail from Tino Keitel on this list, that it
may be a kernel issue: may I ask which kernel you're using?
In any case, the lines in question are in /etc/apm/apmd_proxy:
if [ "$1,$2" = "standby,system" -o "$1,$2" = "suspend,system" ]; then
if on_ac_power >/dev/null; then
# Reject system suspends and standbys if we are on AC power
exit 1 # Reject (NOTE kernel support must be enabled)
fi
# otherwise fall through and call the scripts!
fi
I removed the '-o "$1,$2" = "suspend,system" ' to make Fn-F4 work.
Personally, I think the whole test is flawed - the system suspends anyway,
so the pre-suspend scripts should still be called. If you want to reject
suspends when on AC, it has to happen before this point, IMO, because as
far as I can tell, by this point you are already committed.
Anyone care to shed any light on this? Is this a bug in the kernel, or
apmd, or the debian apmd_proxy system?
