Package: pm-utils Version: 1.4.1-17 Severity: normal When I run `pm-suspend-hybrid` the screen goes black and the system suspends. When I wake it up, the screen does not go "un-black". The system is definitely awake, because I can ssh into it, but I can't go back to what I was doing because o

2018-01-03 Thread PJ Weisberg
The behavior you describe as "the uswsusp backend" is the only behavior described in the man page for pm-suspend-hybrid. It doesn't mention an alternate behavior at all, let alone that the alternate behavior is the *default*. As of version 1.4.1-17 it's still true that pm-utils doesn't suggest or

Bug#657279: network-manager: Not authorized to control networking

2012-04-23 Thread PJ Weisberg
This no longer happens if I use gdm3 as my x-display-manager. That solves the mystery of when it stopped working: the first time I tried to change my network settings after dropping Gnome3. So this might be a bug in both slim and xdm (both of which I've tried), or it might be that network-manager

Bug#290937: Hearse support for 64 bit

2011-09-22 Thread PJ Weisberg
The linux client bails if it detects a 64-bit system. There's a comment in there that says "I haven't actually written the code to deal with this case yet (it needs special handling because there's no format to read a native-sized long but with a specific byte order), I just detect it and choke."

I was certainly disappointed when Hearse failed to get retrieve bones on my newly set-up 64-bit system. This being 2011, I'll probably never set up a new 32-bit system again. I don't know how difficult it would be to add this ability to the server. I would take a crack at a patch myself, but the

As a temporary workaround, until the postinst script gets fixed, you can: 1. Install wesnoth-1.8-core 2. Install wesnoth-1.9-core 3. Uninstall wesnoth-1.8-core The Wesnoth1.9 postinst configuration script is set up to abort if Wesnoth isn't already configured, so installing a version that does s
