I have this problem in VitualBox, I do not know why the kernel does not enable the sleep capability: # cat /sys/power/state disk it should return "mem disk", mem meaning "suspend to ram" or just "sleep". When the problem happens can you send me the output of the 'cat /sys/power/state' command? Today the problem occurred again with 2011-12-12-19-53-basyskom-plasma-active-testing-meego-usb-live.iso, but it was during a meeting. And the battery was empty before the meeting so I could not launch the command above (and I don't have the charger with me). I'll post it as soon as I can reproduce it again with enough power left ;) Created attachment 66698 [details]
Use standby call for sleeping if suspend to RAM is not available.
Can you try the attached file and see if it solves the problem? Just log as root and move the file to /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksmserver/qml.
I do not have a real tablet here so I cannot test the low battery profile.
*grrrrr* I can't reproduce it anymore even though I haven't changed anything. /sys/power/state returns standby mem disk As soon as it happens again, I'll copy the qml file and see if it goes away. This happened again with both PA2 meego image and 2012-01-31-15-30-basyskom-plasma-active-devel-meego-usb-live.iso, and not only with low battery. Instead, at some point sleep stops working and then only works again after a reboot. "cat /sys/power/state" always returns "standby mem disk" Anything else I can do to diagnose this? You can activate all debug messages using kdebugdialog and when the problem happens send me the ~/.xsession-errors file. Okay, I did as you suggested. See the .xsession-errors file in the attachment.

xsession-errors after the problem occured
Unfortunately, the log does not help to figure out what is going on with this problem. I think this problem may happen because kded is frozen. You can check if that is case by issuing this command: qdbus org.kde.kded If it does not return then that is the problem. I added some changes in the lastest basysKom's devel image (2012-02-27-14-08-basyskom-plasma-active-devel-meego-usb-live.iso) that among other things fix one problem with kded. The changes are in the startactive package, you can update it from here: https://build.pub.meego.com/package/binaries?package=startactive&project=Project%3AKDE%3ADevel&repository=MeeGo_1.2_OSS instead of re-installing. As a bonus the new startactive speeds up boot time. Since I installed 2012-02-27-14-08-basyskom-plasma-active-devel-meego-usb-live.iso (a fresh install was overdue anyway), I haven't had this problem, so it seems to have done the trick, thanks! As I've had this problem since before the PA2 release, I'd strongly recommend to backport the fix to PA2. I think being unable to put a tablet to sleep is a rather nasty bug. I need to talk to Maurice about how to create upgrade packages for PA2. There is no project in build.pub.meego.com with the KDE SC version used in PA2. Basically I cannot create packages for PA2, I can only do it for PA3 devel and testing images. startactive package is noarch (no binary included), so it can be installed in PA2 images, but other packages, like plasma-mobile, will pull the whole KDE SC 4.8.0 used in PA3 if you try to upgrade it. |
