I'll tell you when I boot up that drive again.
Mike Bird downthread gave some intriguing advice; I'll prob try that
too.

not sure what you mean by 'vanished'. in the end though I'm supposing
something was wrong with the sources.list I used. maybe I'll hook up
that hard-drive and have another look.
I'm a bit spoiled by the pleasant speed of the ssd card on this laptop
so I doubt I'll put the old hard-drive back into actual use.
(got to research the 'trim' issues.)

glad you got yours figured out. not so lucky here.
trying to install the new release practically killed my system. I
wrestled it back to near health though there are still issues,
including the kpowersave issue. I didn't have tdepowersave in
apt-cache. Can you post a screenshot of you searching for
the keyword powersave in
Synaptic. It is very very unlikely that it is not there.
well, problem solved :)
it turned out that
- my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity.list file (which kept the entries for
trinity) had vanished during my initial several 'dist-upgrades' (forced by
errors)
- once fixed, aptitude found tdepowersave, which would uninstall/replace
kpowersave upon installation
after next reboot, tdepowersave starts automatically and works as
expected.
thanks for your help. I took the
hard-drive out and put in a new virgin one, did a new
install but for carrying over home. that has the tdepowersave app but
it is misbehaving: it shuts down the system no matter what I put in
the configuration menu. (or maybe something else does...?)
I suppose, it must be something else. guess this is
an advance since the other version either didn't have a
config menu or only had one after manually loading hald. even then I
wasn't sure it was doing anything.
does it at least show the battery status ?
(it should, of course).
