scripts in power.d not executing

[felixnine]

running 9.04 on a panp. it seems that my custom power event scripts (ac power) are not executing when i plug and unplug my laptop. i've put them in both


/etc/pm/power.d
/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d


but nothing happens. i know nothing happens because i have them echo something to a file when they are exeuted.

also of note, the command on_ac_power always returns 255, which means "power state could not be determined." related?

(i know it's working somehow; my display dims when i unplug it)

There is a bug in power management for the Pangolin. Suspend/Hibernate should still work fine. The fix is actually available, but it requires compiling the kernel with certain options.

This should be fixed in Karmic.

neat. suspend and hibernate do work fine. what do i need to do to compile into the kernel?

also: the sleep.d scripts are working, i believe, but the power.d scripts are not.

I'm not really that familiar with compiling kernels. However, there are already some threads dealing with this issue.
