Hi,
For the last two years, acpi-support worked perfectly fine for me. My
laptop suspended and resuming very reliably.
But recently, with version 0.109-3, my laptop stopped resuming, because
you switched to using pm-utils when there's no dbus/hal app. Changing
SUSPEND_METHODS back to "acpi-support" solves the problem.
Please revert to the upstream behaviour, and use the legacy mode,
that benefits from years of development on the Ubuntu side. If I install
acpi-support, it's because I want to benefit from that, so it's totally
counter-productive to use pm-utils instead of the scripts that
acpi-support ships. If you want to do that, please package that
separately.
Unfortunately the Ubuntu implementation is deprecated and receives not
nearly as much testing as it used to, since their default install does
suspend/resume using hal (which delegates to pm-utils). All their
development efforts go into pm-utils nowadays. So I *really* want to
move to pm-utils for new installs. I guess I'll move the default back to
acpi-support for existing installs, but as far as I'm concerned that's
as far as it should go.
Perhaps I will split off the acpi-support suspend functionality into a
separate package. The acpi-support package has two distinct and very
different functions, one is to make special buttons/keys on laptops
work, and the other is to do suspend. The two functionalities are in
fact largely independent, so it would be very easy to make an
acpi-support-suspend package containing only the suspend support, and an
acpi-support package containing only the button/key support.
Cheers,
Bart
