Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kpowersave-0.7.2-1.fc7 How reproducible: Almost every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. install kpowersave, run it in KDE 2. logout 3. login Additional info: It also complained about not being able to umount all removable devices a few times.
noticed the same problem... since j'm running non english version the translation of system massage is like ...."kpowersave is not able to execute/run pidof, could not autosuspend, Please check suspend settings".... it cures every time i login the system or change settings in kpowersave... suspending manually using kpowersave works fine... --------------------------------------------------------------------- System config: FC7 KDE3.5.7 kernel 2.6.23.1-10_1.cubbi_tuxonice.fc7 #1 SMP i686 (atrpms) kpowersave-0.7.3-0.2svn20070828.fc7 pm-utils-0.99.4-3.fc7 (atrpms) acpid-1.0.4-8.fc7 acpitool-0.4.6-2.fc6 acpi-0.09-2.fc6 wmacpi-2.2-0.1.a1.fc7 hal-0.5.9-8.fc7 dbus-1.0.2-6.fc7 /sbin/pidof
same here with fedora 8, up-to-date as of feb.7, 2008
Cannot confirm, worksforme.
Looks working here too... No idea when it got fixed, but for a long time I don't have this problem.
Well... it got fixed at some point...
Sorry, saw this again today... kpowersave-0.7.3-1.fc8.
Created attachment 297262 [details] The error message screenshot (the error window only).
I can confirm this. Here's the interesting part: /sbin/pidof exists grep -R pidof /var/log ..doesn't return any results
ok, looks like this was fixed only in rawhide, in build kpowersave-0.7.3-3. Looks like we need to issue an update for f7/f8.
