Description Mark 2010-11-30 17:25:50 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.80) 
OS:                Linux

in KDE 4.6beta1
as it's now possible run KDE _without hal_ I uninstalled it, but suspend/hibernate feature is afterwards not available in powerdevil. 
pm-suspend , pm-hibernate still work
with hal running, susp/hibernate were offered.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
run kde4.6beta1 without hal and try to suspend/hibernate via powerdevil/system shutdown menu. 

Actual Results:  
not offered

Can confirm. No Suspend/hibernate buttons, No backlight information (shows minimal value).

Maybe we should try this: http://www.afiestas.org/one-step-closer-towards-a-kde-hal-free/

Yes, works. Suspend/Hibernate buttons are back and works, still no backlight information and regulation.

Wow, thanks Marian, will try as well. 
btw, on my system, the file is located at: 
/usr/share/kde4/services/powerdevilupowerbackend.desktop
the blog says to set InitialPreference = 20 (lower than the hal one)

can confirm the missing backlight control, though Fn-keys work for me (but that's bios I think)

Devs: shouldn't the change to InitialPreference default to upower, as hal is not a dependency anymore?

This bug is fixed in Beta2+, as now backend loading in the Power Management system is no longer dynamic but static (and most of all working). Those bugs were due to a faulty backend load in the power management system in Beta 1.
