[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#757606: acpid: acpi script dont detect gnome acpi handling

[Pascal Railhet]

Package: acpid
Version: 1:2.0.16-1+deb7u1
Severity: normal

Hello

Sorry for my bad english.

On my laptop, when I press the power button, I want to have the interactive
menu as I set in dconf editor. In fact I have the interactive menu AND an
immediate shutdown initied by the script /etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh.

After somme debugging I localized the bug in the script /usr/share/acpi-support
/policy-funcs. The function GnomeSettingsDaemonPowerRunning call DBusSend with
first parameter set to gnome-settings-daemon, the process we want to scan to
acpi support. On the function DBusSend, this value is send to pgrep, but pgrep
is limited to first 15 characters of the prog name. So pgrep dont return any
pid, DBusSend exit abnormaly and GnomeSettingsDaemonPowerRunning assume that
there is no acpi support from gnome-settings-deamon.

I bypass the bug by calling the dBusSend with only "gnome-settings-" as first
param and all was running fine. But this patch is not very clean. I sugest to
use pgrep with -f option and full path to gnome settings-deamon.

Regards

Pascal.
