Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs Running laptop "docked" with lid closed and external monitor and keyboard/mouse. During login when guidance-power-manager starts system goes into suspend. GPM is configured to enter suspend when lid is closed, but it needs to consider previous state.
Created attachment 30284 [details] Patch to initialize lid state on startup I believe this should fix it. Basically copied the var setting from the poll loop, which may be a bit convoluted for the initial state set, but works.
Still present in 4.2.0. Can someone please evaluate this patch and get this fixed? Still applies to 4.2.0.
The "guidance-power-manager" is unmaintained and has been replaced with "Powerdevil". If this issue needs to be addressed in recent KDE versions, such as 4.6.5 or 4.7.x, please add a comment, or report it to "solid/powermanagement" bugzilla product.
