Slacko 5.3

#1 Post by jmccoy1 »

Hi - I'm trying out Slacko 5.3 on my Eee PC 900A, and am finding it GREAT!

One thing puzzles me, though - if I shut down by pushing the power button, then close the lid, it suspends, so later when I open the lid and push a key, it completes the shutdown. If I run wmpoweroff directly, this doesn't happen.

I see that there is code in /etc/acpi/acpi_poweroff.sh which looks like it should prevent this, but my bash abilities aren't sufficient for me to figure out why it doesn't work.

I was using Jemimah's wonderful Puppeee, and it continued to shut down when I closed the lid.

Any help?

Suspend during shutdown

#2 Post by jmccoy1 »

No one posted a reply to my problem, so I'll reply. The following make things work the way I wanted:

1. Put the following line at the beginning of /etc/acpi/actions/acpi_poweroff.sh

touch /tmp/nosuspend

2. Put the following lines at the beginning of /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh

if test -f /tmp/nosuspend; then
exit
fi
