Subject: [trinity-users] kdepowersave
so, well, today I also upgraded my good ols eeepc701 to r14 (from 3.5.13), not
without some trouble (had to issue aptitude dist-upgrade several times), but
finally, ran through and most things seem to work.
unfortunately, kdepowersave stopped working.
whien started from the cli, I get this:
kpowersave --force-acpi-check
kpowersave: WARNING: Acquire org.freedesktop.Policy.Power interface failed
with error: Connection ":1.13" is not allowed to own the
service "org.freedesktop.Policy.Power" due to security policies in the
configuration file
kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...
kpowersave: ERROR: Can't connect to HAL
kpowersave: ERROR: Could not connect to HAL
kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...
kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...
kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...
kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...
kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...
kpowersave: ERROR: This machine does not support ACPI, APM, PMU, CPUFreq,
Suspend2Disk nor Suspend2RAM. Please close KPowersave now.
ERROR: Communication problem with kpowersave, it probably crashed.
so, seems to be related to hal.
anyone got an idea how to fix this (OS is debian wheezy).

Hi,
If I were you, I would look for replacing the kpowersave package with something named
tdepowersave, which doesn't need HAL anymore. It might be easier for you to find the
package in Synaptic, depending on how you are comfortable with apt-get or aptitude.
Then it should work!
