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

kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...
kpowersave: ERROR: Can't connect to HAL

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!

but there is no tdepowersave whatsoever, only kpowersave-trinity

1. Has the apt source list file been in-line with the new release? (Please compare it with
the one in the Debian install page on this website.
2. Do you have Synaptic installed? In Synaptic, for me on Ubuntu (for test only, PCLinuxOS

in Synaptic.
Hope it helps!

yes, I followed the instructions on the trinity website for debian wheezy
2. Do you have Synaptic installed?
no.
In Synaptic, for me on Ubuntu (for test

It is easier to search package in Synaptic.
I always search with apt-cache or aptitude.
I suppose these would find the same things as synaptic, no ?

it turned out that
- my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity.list file (which kept the entries for

- once fixed, aptitude found tdepowersave, which would uninstall/replace

the new ssd card is cool though. makes a difference I hadn't noticed

Regarding losses apt sources I have one idea - previously was one package
trinity-keyring, which contained both GPG key and APT sources list. Now are
two separate packages trinity-keyring and trinity-apt-archive. If your apt
sources previously came from package trinity-keyring, after upgrade this
package apt sources list would disappear.

You should be able to get rid of HAL without major problems, unless

You can do "apt-get install tdepowersave-trinity". After that you can do
"dpkg --dry-run --purge hal hal-info libhal-storage1 libhal1" and if it
looks OK repeat without the "--dry-run".

I had the problem on a new install. It weas a fresh wheezy + TDE14 install.
On synaptics at least some "informations" are problematic. Actually, three
packages are (more or less available):
I first looked for kpowersave (that's what I am used to) and found two
pakackages:
- kpowersave-trinity, requiring HAL (it is sitll there, it installs but does
not work: I get a greyed out icon in the system tray). Trying to start it
complained about HAL not being installed
- kpowersave-nohal-trinity, indicated as a dummy package. When I tried to
install it colored red and said it depended on a package (I think now it was
tdepowersave, but I am not sure) that was not to be installed.
After reading the list I removed the non-working kpowersave and apt-get
installed tdepowersave and that works perfectly.
I don't know if the two kpowersave are necessary, but most "old" users being
used to them they actually work as a trap :)

Hi Thierry,
kpowersave has been replaced in Linux by tdepowersave. In Wheezy it is still available,
but in Jessie it will no
longer be there, since HAL is not available anymore and so kpowersave does not build in
Jessie at all.
Cheers

Can you post a screenshot of you searching for the
keyword powersave in
Synaptic. It is very very unlikely that it is not there.
Alexandre -
Your preference for GUI is to be respected, but so is the preference of many
of us for the CLI. In the days when I administered computers with Synaptic
installed I have solved may a Synaptic snarl-up by switching to aptitude at
the CLI.
Aptitude search is every bit as reliable as any searching on Synaptic, I would
feel more so. tdepowersave wasn't there because of a sources.list problem.
Not because Synaptic is somehow magic and apt and aptitude are rubbish.
