ACPI configuration for lid

rssn6 · 11-03-2008, 09:44 PM

Yes it is another post concerning lid & standby.
When I do echo -n mem > /sys/power/state in terminal my laptop goes down and when I close and reopen my lid and everything is back and working ok!

I consider this post for help me out to configure the closing part for my lid by what Fluxx posted and I quote:
his lid.sh file

Quote:

#!/bin/sh

# discover video card's ID
ID=`/sbin/lspci | grep VGA | awk '{ print $1 }' | sed -e 's@0000:@@' -e 's@:@/@'`

# securely create a temporary file
TMP_FILE=`mktemp /tmp/video_state.XXXXXX`
trap 'rm -f $TMP_FILE' 0 1 15

# switch to virtual terminal 1 to avoid graphics
# corruption in X
chvt 1

/sbin/hwclock --systohc

# write all unwritten data (just in case)
sync

# dump current data from the video card to the
# temporary file
cat /proc/bus/pci/$ID > $TMP_FILE

# suspend-to-ram
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

# suspend-to-disk
# echo -n disk > /sys/power/state

/sbin/hwclock --hctosys

# restore video card data from the temporary file
# on resume
cat $TMP_FILE > /proc/bus/pci/$ID

# switch back to virtual terminal 7 (running X)
chvt 7

# remove temporary file
rm -f $TMP_FILE

and then he added 2 lines in his lid file in
/etc/acpi/events

Quote:

event=button[ /]lid.*
action=/etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh

but for me this script do not work properly.
When I close the lid the laptop goes to standby
but when I reopen the lid there is a 1sec on comming back for standby but imadiatly going back to standby therefore I need to repress the power button to bring up from standby.

My question is how do I fix this problem?
Can I add just some lines in the acpi_handler.sh?

Please help me out
thank you

This is my acpi_handler.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions
 
IFS=${IFS}/
set $@
 
case "$1" in
  button)
    case "$2" in
      power) /sbin/init 0
         ;;
        lid) su dive -c /home/dive/scripts/suspendlock
         ;;
      *) logger "ACPI action $2 is not defined"
         ;;
    esac
    ;;
  *)
    logger "ACPI group $1 / action $2 is not defined"
    ;;
esac

Change my suspendlock script for yours.

rssn6 · 11-04-2008, 03:25 PM

Did not work for me!
Just to make sure, Dive your suspendlock is a .sh file or it is like an event one?
Also
Can it be my lid.sh file that I use (it is posted at the begining)?
I just realise that Fluxx's(that I used) script do not do the resume on an open lid just on a button.
So I thing that is the problem but what script Should I use!!

thank you

dive · 11-04-2008, 05:24 PM

Yes the suspendlock is just a sh file similar to lid.sh. Just put the location of your lid.sh and you can take out the 'su dive -c' part.

Make sure you remove or comment out the lines in your old events file so only one is used at a time though.

If it is still going into suspend right after resuming then it looks like a problem with acpi seeing the lid button event twice. You may want to check your acpi log to see whats happening.

Thank you for the clarification. But what I found very strange is that when I pass echo -n mem > /sys/power/state in the terminal without the lid script then I close the lid and reopen everything goes back to normal.

With the script active when I close or use the terminal command after reopening the lid it goes to standby after a sec of power up.

dive · 11-04-2008, 10:37 PM

Wht happens if you comment out everything except 'echo -n mem > /sys/power/state' in the script?

I found with my laptop that I didn't need all the extra commands except 'sync' for suspend.

w1k0 · 11-05-2008, 08:38 AM

rssn6: are you sure the below line in your script is commented?

# echo -n disk > /sys/power/state

I just tried your lid.sh script and it works properly in my Slackware 12.1.

w1k0 · 11-05-2008, 09:02 AM

rssn6: I just managed to achieve the result you described in your first post. I pushed lid fast to down and to up without closing it entirely. If I close it your lid.sh script works well for me.

rssn6 · 11-05-2008, 08:35 PM

Back with comments.
I do not have any log file for acpi.
I try all your suggestions but no good results.
Same thing happens.

any other suggestions ?

thank you for all your replies

dive · 11-05-2008, 09:15 PM

You should have a /var/log/acpid containing entries like

[Mon Sep 29 23:06:32 2008] received event "button/lid LID 00000080 00000001"
[Mon Sep 29 23:06:32 2008] notifying client 2846[82:82]
[Mon Sep 29 23:06:32 2008] notifying client 8536[0:100]
[Mon Sep 29 23:06:32 2008] executing action "/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh button/lid LID 00000080 00000001"

Try closing/opening the lid a few times and look in the log. I'm not sure where you can go from here but the log may show something.

ok here is my acpi log

According to that log acpi_handler.sh isn't running but lid.sh is.

Did you remove the entries from /etc/acpi/events and just use acpi_handler.sh as I put it above? If not, try it. Something like the following:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions
 
IFS=${IFS}/
set $@
 
case "$1" in
  button)
    case "$2" in
      power) /sbin/init 0
         ;;
        lid) /etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh
         ;;
      *) logger "ACPI action $2 is not defined"
         ;;
    esac
    ;;
  *)
    logger "ACPI group $1 / action $2 is not defined"
    ;;
esac

Also make sure that lid.sh only contains echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

rssn6 · 11-05-2008, 11:44 PM

Dive, presently that is my acpi_handler.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions

IFS=${IFS}/
set $@

case "$1" in
  button)
    case "$2" in
      power) /sbin/init 0
         ;;
	lid)  /etc/acpi/lid.sh
         ;;
      *) logger "ACPI action $2 is not defined"
         ;;
    esac
    ;;
  *)
    logger "ACPI group $1 / action $2 is not defined"
    ;;
esac

my events folder has just default:

Code:

event=button power.*
action=/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh %e

event=button[ /]lid.*
action=/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh

and my lid.sh file has:

Code:

/bin/sh

# discover video card's ID
##ID=`/sbin/lspci | grep VGA | awk '{ print $1 }' | sed -e 's@0000:@@' -e 's@:@/@'`

# securely create a temporary file
##TMP_FILE=`mktemp /tmp/video_state.XXXXXX`
##trap 'rm -f $TMP_FILE' 0 1 15

# switch to virtual terminal 1 to avoid graphics
# corruption in X
##chvt 1

##/sbin/hwclock --systohc

# write all unwritten data (just in case)
##sync

# dump current data from the video card to the
# temporary file
##cat /proc/bus/pci/$ID > $TMP_FILE

# suspend-to-ram
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

# suspend-to-disk
# echo -n disk > /sys/power/state

##/sbin/hwclock --hctosys

# restore video card data from the temporary file
# on resume
##cat $TMP_FILE > /proc/bus/pci/$ID

# switch back to virtual terminal 7 (running X)
##chvt 7

# remove temporary file
##rm -f $TMP_FILE

with this code when I close my lid it do not go to standby...

Please help me out I'm so confused!

dive · 11-06-2008, 07:34 AM

/etc/acpi/events/default should be:

Code:

event=.*
action=/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh %e

The first line in your lid.sh should be:

#!/bin/sh

Also check the location of your lid.sh script. Earlier you said it was at /etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh

If it is then move it to /etc/acpi/

rssn6 · 11-06-2008, 08:46 AM

ok I corrected the problem, now my laptop goes to standby but open I reopen it goes up and down very quickly, then I press the button and it goes up and then again down... I have to press the button 3 times to bring it up!!!

maybe put and argument for open/close in acpi_handler.sh?

my acpid log
