laptop energy-saving managment

Hi alexo
/tmp/tcloop/  is where extensions get mounted. Extensions are read only file systems and can not be modified.

Just put your config file in /opt/.filetool.lst , not the whole directory.

[alexo]

ok, so I desume that in .optfiletoo.lst there must be files only.
however laptop-tools is not working on my old machine.

Even if I have  /usr/local/etc/init.d/laptop-mode start in my bootlocal.sh nothing happens.
I'll do without it.

stupid question: if /tmp/tclocal/ is where extensions are loaded, config files for the same of them shouldn't be equal to each other? why I have two different files?

for completeness' sake these are my bootlocal.sh and .filetool.lst files:

bootlocal.sh

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here
loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwerty/it.kmap
/usr/local/etc/init.d/cups start
/usr/local/bin/xscreensaver -nosplash
/usr/local/etc/init.d/laptop-mode start
.filetool.lst:

Code: [Select]

opt
home
etc/shadow
usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf
usr/local/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf
usr/local/etc/laptop-mode/lm-profiler.conf


I have also a problem with xscreensaver.
If I start the command /usr/local/bin/xscreensaver -nosplash manually, the screen saver starts regularly but with this message on the CL

xscreensaver: 12:02:56: couldn't get password of "tc"
xscreensaver: 12:02:56: locking is disabled (error getting password).
xscreensaver: 12:02:56: does xscreensaver need to be setuid?  consult the manual

If I add this line in bootlocal.sh the screen saver doesn't start at all.

do you think have I to start a new topic for that problem?
thank you

X apps should not be started in bootlocal.sh, X is not yet up. Start them in .X.d (see our FAQ link on the top).

[alexo]

now xscreensaver starts.
For those like me, that don't know how to do it, I added a file named xscreensaver in the .X.d folder in which I wrote the command: xscreensaver -nosplash &.

Thank you.

I cannot still understand why laptop-tools don't work.

Hi,
sorry for resuming an old topic, but I've tryed many laptop-mode.conf settings without success.
Can anyone please post here the laptop-mode.conf file that correctly suspend a laptop?

thank you all
