Public bug reported: Since the update to some package or another on 3 June or 2 June, my laptop has taken to suspending whenever the power is disconnected. I'm running 8.04 (fresh install on new HD) after having the same problem with 7.10 (however, recovery from the suspend always took a lot longer then it does now). When it goes to suspend, it goes to a green screen with a flashing _ cursor in the top right.
It looks to be similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /acpi-support/+bug/157467 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /gnome-power-manager/+bug/50094 reported for 7.10. When running "gconftool -a /apps/gnome-power-manager 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gconftool.log' as suggested in the second report, I get: action_button_suspend = suspend can_suspend = true suppress_suspend_warning = true Running 'lshal -m 2>&1 | tee /tmp/lshal.log' and then pulling the plug produces attachment one. 'uname -r' returns: 2.6.24-17-generic I have the following software installed: acpid 1.0.4-5ubuntu9 gnome-power-manager 2.22.1-1ubuntu4 pm-utils 0.99.2-3ubuntu9 powermanagement-interface 0.3.18 powermgmt-base 1.29build1 And from the bottom of my '/var/log/acpid' file: [Tue Jun 3 21:44:01 2008] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jun 3 21:44:01 2008] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jun 3 21:44:01 2008] action exited with status 0 [Tue Jun 3 21:44:01 2008] completed event "battery BAT0 00000080 00000001" [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] received event "battery BAT0 00000080 00000001" [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] notifying client 5111[111:123] [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] notifying client 5260[0:0] [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] executing action "/etc/acpi/power.sh" [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] action exited with status 0 [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] completed event "battery BAT0 00000080 00000001" [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] received event "ac_adapter ACAD 00000080 00000001" [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] notifying client 5111[111:123] [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] notifying client 5260[0:0] [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] executing action "/etc/acpi/power.sh" [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] action exited with status 0 [Tue Jun 3 21:44:07 2008] completed event "ac_adapter ACAD 00000080 00000001" ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- when disconnecting power, laptop suspends https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
