Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: Slackware Packages OS: Linux in linux kernel version 2.6.13, CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_SLEEP is marked as deprecated. it adds /proc/acpi/sleep interface that klaptop daemon uses for sleep states. if this file is not present, klaptop is not able to send signals for standby and other powersaving modes. as this interface is deprecated by /sys/power/state, it should be supported by klaptop.
Created attachment 12450 [details] a quick fix to change to /sys/power/state This patch is only a quick fix and translates the states "standby", "mem" and "disk" back to the sleepmodes 1, 3 and 4. Finally a better solution might be needed, depending on the future support of /proc/acpi/sleep.
Fedora Core 4 Kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 will do the same which is disabling depricated /proc/acpi/sleep.
This _really_ ought to be fixed for KDE 3.5. Otherwise klaptopdaemon loses a large chunk of its functionality. Can anyone report success with the previously attached patch?
I just tested klaptopdaemon (debian/experimental version) and it's working fine with this version :-D Maybe this bug can be closed.
I have personally contacted the KLaptopDaemon author/assigned and he confirmed that the tool is deprecated in KDE SC 4 (replaced by PowerDevil) and that there are no current efforts to support/maintain the KDE SC 3 version. Because of this, I will close the reports as UNMAINTAINED. Regards
