Description cje 2007-03-13 12:16:39 UTC

Description of problem:
when i unplug the laptop (from AC power) it takes a little while for the system
status to change.  (the screen dims, the power icon changes and there's a notify
message).  i'm sure it used to be instant - isn't it event driven?  is this a
tickless kernel side-effect?  who can say?!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.17.92

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove AC power
2. wait
3.
  
Actual results:
there's a delay

Expected results:
instant response

Additional info:
this is on a toshiba portege P2000 (several years old)

Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2007-03-13 12:29:10 UTC

do you get events from "lshal -m" immediatly?

Comment 2 cje 2007-03-13 13:21:04 UTC

ah.  no.  i get a set of battery stats reported in lshal every 30secs and the
ac_adapter and battery.rechargeable messages arrive with that lot.

so does that mean this is a problem with HAL rather than with g-p-m?

Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2007-03-13 14:19:51 UTC

Yes. I think it's fixed in the latest HAL git master, but I'm unable to build
packages as make distclean is broken.

Comment 4 cje 2007-03-13 14:51:03 UTC

okay.  i've changed the component accordingly.  feel free to change it back if i
shouldn't have done so.  big thanks for the quick and helpful responses :-)

Comment 5 Richard Hughes 2007-03-13 21:47:47 UTC

I've committed a fix to HAL master:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal-commit/2007-March/003123.html

This should be in rawhide in the next couple of days.
