Slack current - power management
 

I've only been testing XFCE so far, so perhaps it is due to that.

But, my suspend and hibernate buttons are not recognized until I suspend in XFCE once with logout button, then XFCE let's me use my buttons on the keyboard to suspend/hibernate.

I'm working around this with the /etc/acpi powerbutton tweak someone else helped me with for KDE.

Secondly and more importantly tho, is I want to

1.) completely turn off usb autosuspend.

running in my rc.local
this helps, but when I suspend, the USB devices are all off. So I have to re-run that. I've put a file in /etc/pm/sleep.d and it's not being honored by my system like it would in 13.37

2. I want to completely disable turning off my hard drive with power management. Again, I made a /etc/pm/sleep.d file with

and that too is not being honored.

I've also gone so far as to test/fix by deleting /usr/lib/pm/suspend.d/{harddrive,laptop-mode} but no luck.

Any other thought greatly welcome.

also where is global xmodmap file?

I'd like to add

Just another update, on clean boot up of the laptop, KDE does see my battery, my battery buttons without issue (well so long as I use the xmodmap there). XFCE does not. I have to (from a cold boot), log into xfce, issue suspend, then resume, now I can see my battery and my buttons. So I guess I'll stick with KDE on current like I am in 13.37 . XFCE power manager just seems to have issues with my hardware :(

Maybe you can run these commands and post the output?

xfce4-power-manager --restart --dump
xfce4-power-manager --debug

xfce4-power-manager --restart --dump

outputs nothing to the terminal

and

xfce4-power-manager --debug

says: Xfce Power Manager: Another power manager is already running

ps ax |grep pow states:

/usr/libexec/upowerd and xfce4-power-manager are running.

(It has an uppercase X) You can also just use ~/.Xmodmap
