Hi all!
I just ran into an interesting problem with kpowermanger (fresh installed wheezy + TDE 3.5.13.2):
when I have my testuser configured to "autologin" and has "kpowermanager" aktivated, then - on the first autologin, kpowermanager does not work, i.e. it shows a dithered plug symbol. - testuser logs out and automaticaly logs in again: "kpowermanager" works as intended.
Is there an easy workaround instead of logging out the first time? Could somebody with a deeper insight in TDE internals guide me to debug the problem?

Ok, found part of the answer: /usr/sbin/hald is not running.
How do I find out how that happens?

I am having an issue similar to that... where my PC will NOT turn off or screen will not go to sleep.
I accidentally lost the email but someone replied back said that HAL is no longer being used sowhat do I install
tto make the screen turn off and standby after xx? I know that even if you set all of that in the power options
nnothing happens and I hate to have to shutdown every night I am in XFCE right now and can do all of that.
Thanks,
Chris
I solved the not-turnin-off-problem by replacing /etc/acpi/lid.sh with this:
#!/bin/sh sleep 10 halt exit 0
so in case TDE (or any other DE) fails to shut down propperly in 10 seconds, the laptop is guaranteed to shut down.
The not-screen-blanking can be solved by using the Xservers dpms settings:
xset +dpms xset dpms 60 90 120
you may want to look at xset manpages :-)
