Package: acpi-support Version: 0.109-11 Followup-For: Bug #510619 'w' truncates longer than 8 char long loings. Mayby use 'who'? Then after getent passwd $user and finding homedir, ensure that it is not empty (so such user exists in system database).
I noticed this using scripts from https://code.launchpad.net/~karl.hegbloom/tabuntu/tablet-screen-rotation-support which rotates screen (on my IBM X41 Tablet), using xrandr on some acpi event (like turning LCD display). On one user it was working, on second not (because login name had 11 letters, and was truncated by w to 8 or 10 mayby). Then getent passwd failed to find homedir of this user. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages acpi-support depends on: ii acpi-support-base 0.109-11 scripts for handling base ACPI eve ii acpid 1.0.8-1 Utilities for using ACPI power man ii dmidecode 2.9-1 Dump Desktop Management Interface ii finger 0.17-12 user information lookup program ii hdparm 8.9-3 tune hard disk parameters for high ii laptop-detect 0.13.6 attempt to detect a laptop ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii powermgmt-base 1.30+nmu1 Common utils and configs for power ii vbetool 1.0-3 run real-mode video BIOS code to a ii x11-xserver-utils 7.3+5 X server utilities Versions of packages acpi-support recommends: ii dbus 1.2.1-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii nvclock 0.8b3-1 Allows you to overclock your nVidi ii pm-utils 1.1.2.4-1 utilities and scripts for power ma ii radeontool 1.5-5 utility to control ATI Radeon back ii toshset 1.73-3 Access much of the Toshiba laptop Versions of packages acpi-support suggests: pn laptop-mode-tools <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
