5/5/2010 - Performed an update via the update manager. Issue appears to have been addressed. Noted that amongst other changes, The following was identified in the download: ACPID - Advanced Configuration and Power Interface events Deamon Changes for the versions: 1.0.10-5ubuntu2 1.0.10-5ubuntu2.1
Version 1.0.10-5ubuntu2.1: * debian/powerbtn.sh: ensure that /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs exists before sourcing it; note that acpid does not depend on acpi-support (which is fine, as it brings in lots of X dependencies not appropriate for servers); this fix will allow Ubuntu servers (especially those in VMs) to run acpid and catch and handle power button events again; LP: #570450 Description Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query battery and configuration status. ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering ACPI events. It listens on netlink interface (or on the deprecated file /proc/acpi/event), and when an event occurs, executes programs to handle the event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of configuration files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the admin. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Fix Released -- No ACPI events for laptop lid or ac disconnect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
