Package: xfce4-power-manager Version: 1.2.0-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
xfce4-power-manager seems to have rotted, again. It now fails to notice when the laptop's charger is connected or disconnected, and its battery level indicator (i.e. the one that comes up w/ Fn+F3 on Thinkpads) shows stale information. This also leads to it being unable to indicate that battery level is critically low, causing sudden (and quite jarring) out-of-battery situations. The problem appeared recently, within the past two weeks, from testing. I have determined that the problem is not related to my custom kernel (by booting an older custom kernel on which the problem never appeared), nor to the hardware in use (by upgrading a spare Thinkpad and confirming that the same failure occurs). As I'm systematically abstaining from sipping the systemd cyanide pop, I find it credible that the problem lay in the various stealth systemd dependencies in the most recent ACPI or general PM handling in Debian, and so the bug should be refiled appropriately -- but I've got neither the knowledge, skills, nor ability to do so. Relatedly, since april-may 2014, it's been the case that xfce4-power-manager has been unable to effect suspend or hibernate either at command or automatically. This problem repeats on all laptops upgraded from testing since april-ish. (I blame the brave new systemd world, and thus lennart "fucking" pöttering, for the issue; but that's neither here nor there.) I've classed this bug as important because in combination with the suspend/hibernate permission issue, this bug inhibits xfce4-power-manager's proper function entirely. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.1+ (SMP w/8 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xfce4-power-manager depends on: ii libc6 2.19-9 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.6-2 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.102-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.7-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.40.0-4 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.24-1 ii libnotify4 0.7.6-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.2-1 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.10.0-5 ii libxfce4util6 4.10.1-1 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.10.0-2 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1 ii upower 0.99.0-3 ii xfce4-power-manager-data 1.2.0-5 Versions of packages xfce4-power-manager recommends: pn libpam-systemd <none> pn systemd-shim | systemd-sysv <none> Versions of packages xfce4-power-manager suggests: ii udisks 1.0.5-1+b1 pn xfce4-power-manager-plugins <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
