Hi Luka,
thanks for your reply.
I checked the output of lshal, both when the laptop is connected to the power
supply and when the laptop runs from battery. The output looks reasonable to
me. Since kde-guidance-powermanager displays again and again that the laptop
is disconnected, I did several time an lshal, when the power supply is
plugged off. But always I get the ac_adapter.present = false.
Looks to me like a powermanager issue. Also the problem is not intermittent,
happens always....
Thanks,
Rainer
Here are details:
This is what I get, when plugged in:
rdorsch at paddy:~/.ssh$ lshal|grep -B 3 -A 1 ac_adapter
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_AC'
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_AC' (string)
linux.hotplug_type = 4 (0x4) (int)
ac_adapter.present = true (bool)
info.capabilities = {'ac_adapter'} (string list)
info.category = 'ac_adapter' (string)
info.product = 'AC Adapter' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string)
linux.acpi_type = 3 (0x3) (int)
linux.acpi_path = '/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC' (string)
Now plugging off the power supply.
This is what I get when plugged off:
rdorsch at paddy:~/.ssh$ lshal|grep -B 3 -A 1 ac_adapter
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_AC'
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_AC' (string)
