That is the real challenge here. It isn't obvious to most users that upower is causing the problem, and it is even less obvious to users without using Google that there is an alternative. Anybody who doesn't read the lists or GMN wouldn't probably wouldn't realize that the simple fix exists. Maybe if portage were smart enough to present the user with two options - replace udev with systemd or replace upower with upower-pm-utils then users would realize the latter change is the better one. I don't want to put out a news item for everything, but when the output of portage is subtle and the package is so widely used it is probably better to have one. Rich
