Subject: xfce4-power-manager: ignores suspend and hibernate keys

Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:38:08 +0100

Package: xfce4-power-manager
Version: 0.8.2-1
Severity: normal


Suspend and hibernate work on my Thinkpad R61 using pm-utils and using
the xfce4-power-manager GUI in xfce4, but the sleep (Fn-F4) and
hibernate (Fn-F12) buttons on the keyboard do not work.

When the sleep and hibernate keys are pressed, "acpi_listen" reports the
following acpi events

  button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000000
  button/suspend SUSP 00000080 00000000

"lshal -m" reports

  09:15:14.277: computer_logicaldev_input_6 condition ButtonPressed = hibernate

I do not understand how xfce4-power-manager learns about acpi events and
do not know how to investigate the problem further, but would be happy
to provide additional information if asked.

I see the same symptoms when using powerdevil in kde4, so the problem
may lie at a lower level of the system. If this bug should have been
filed against a different package, please let me know which one.

I have a T61 so a very similar setup. Suspend key (Fn+F4) does work
fine, hibernate doesn't. I mean, it's not detected, so I can select the
action in the preferences. You can see upstream bug about this at
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5230

Basically, it doesn't appear in lshal, that's why it's not taken by
xfpm. You might want to check if same thing happens for you for the Fn
+F4 key.

Same here, lshal -m correctly reports the event, but the (hibernate)
button doesn't appear in lshal.

Basically, it seems to lie in hal. Before reassigning, could you attach
the result of lshal so we can check?

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks for your quick response.

The output from lshal is attached. Looks similar to yours, although the
suspend and hibernate keys *both* fail on by R61 machine.

The name confusion, with the hibernate button called "suspend" and the
suspend button called "sleep", is a "feature" of acpi, I think.

One thing I forgot to add is that the suspend and hibernate buttons both
used to work (in KDE; I have never before tried them in XFCE) but
stopped working a few months ago. Unfortunately, I cannot remember
exactly when.

Yeah, that's weird. In the xfpm preferences, do you see actions for
suspend and hibernate, besides the power one?

Only actions for the suspend button are shown in the preferences; the
hibernate button is not mentioned. The preferences allows me to
associate various actions with the suspend button, including
hibernation, but in fact nothing happens when I press the suspend
button.

Both suspend and hibernate work when I select them from the right-click
menu of the xfce4-power-manager panel icon.

Cheers, Matthew

It's actually called the "sleep button" in the preferences, not the
"suspend button". Sorry for adding to the naming confusion.

Ok, so it's not the same thing as me.
Try to run xfpm with debug stuff, to see if it correctly receives the
events.

I have no more spare time to devote to this but did make a little
progress before my time ran out. First, I built the src package using

  export CFLAGS_APPEND="-DDEBUG -DG_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS"
  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us -b

If I understand correctly, this should cause a message to be printed
every time a button press event is received. Running this version from
the command line using "xfce4-power-manager --nodaemon" first produces
the output

but nothing is added when I press the sleep or hibernate buttons. It
looks as if xfpm is unaware of the button presses, even though hal
notices them.

FWIW, I also tried building xfpm without optimisation, only to see it
crash with a SIGSEGV. By rebuilding without stripping the debugging
symbols

  export CFLAGS="-g -O0 -DDEBUG -DG_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS"
  export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip
  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us -b

and running "xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon" through gdb, I obtained
the following information about the crash:

It looks to be an unrelated problem, but I'm reporting it here just in
case.

xfpm uses X keys, not hal ones, so that may very well be the problem,
especially since it only detect BUTTON_SLEEP. BUTTON_HIBERNATE is not
detected for me (on the current version, should be fixed upstream) but
BUTTON_SUSPEND and BUTTON_SLEEP are.

Do you use thinkpad-acpi?

Could you use lsinput to find out which input event is the “ThinkPad
Extra Buttons” one (here it's the 3) and run:

sudo input-events 3 (or your number)

Press Fn+F4 and Fn+F12 and tell me what is reported by that.

Which kernel version do you use, btw?

Yes.

Running "input-events 7" as root, I obtain:

# on pressing the sleep key
15:49:00.986062: EV_KEY KEY_SLEEP pressed
15:49:00.986073: EV_SYN code=0 value=0
15:49:00.986077: EV_KEY KEY_SLEEP released
15:49:00.986081: EV_SYN code=0 value=0

# on pressing the hibernate key
15:49:05.190784: EV_KEY KEY_SUSPEND pressed

15:49:05.190799: EV_KEY KEY_SUSPEND released
15:49:05.190802: EV_SYN code=0 value=0

Surprisingly, pressing the sleep key within input-events *does* cause
the system to sleep, even though it has no effect normally. Pressing the
hibernate key has no effect either way.

The standard Debian testing kernel:

Yeah, the hibernate stuff is known (fixed upstream). The sleep one is
weird. I don't know why it'd work only if you listen to it :/ Are you
sure it was configured correctly in the preferences? (I'm not on the box
right now but maybe it changes depending on if you're on AC or battery).

I don't think so. I mean, in that case if wouldn't work when you select
“Suspend” in xfpm tray icon menu. Make sure that, when running
input-events, it's xfpm which receive the event and put the laptop in
suspend to ram (it should be noted in the debug log).

Maybe check with polkit-auth and ck-list-sessions just to be sure you
have the rights to do what you want but I don't think it's the problem.

I really think xfpm is not receiving the key press in the general case,
and fail to understand why it does when input-events is running (unless,
maybe something else usualy grabs the input device and prevents that? Do
you use something else like tpb?)

This is no longer happening. I have rebooted and the "ThinkPad Extra
Buttons" have moved to /dev/input/event6 (perhaps because I disconnected
an external USB mouse). Typing Fn-F4 when running "input-events 6" now
does nothing. This is weird.

I don't use tpb. Since running input-events no longer makes any
difference, I cannot test whether it was really xfpm that put the laptop
to sleep those two times. Sorry.

I guess that xfpm had crashed or stopped working, and that the
/etc/acpi/sleep.sh script was responsible for putting the laptop to
sleep. I have tested that script before: when it detects a running power
manager it exits without doing anything; when it fails to detect a
running power manager it puts the laptop to sleep.

Hi

I seem to be having the same problem on a hp mini 5101, when i have
xfce4-power-manager started I can't get into sleep mode, although it
does lock the screen - via xscreensaver

i placed some code in /etc/acpi/sleep.sh and found it was being called
but because it xfpm is running it doesn't handle the sleep.

I also noticed when i ran xfpm in no deamon mode it couldn't tell what
the cpu freq are !

when i kill xfpm sleep button works

Those are the symptoms, not sure the problem is the same.

Yes, on purpose.

And does it work when you do that from xfce4-session logout screen? Does
it work when you use the right clic on xfpm icon?

It might be related to consolekit/policykit problems, so you might want
to check if they are correctly installed/configured. Take a look at
README.Debian in xfce4 and xfce4-session packages.

I've been having the same issue with xfpm. It's definitely not a 
permanent fix, but commenting out the section of sleep.sh (wherever it 
may be on your system) that checks for a running power manager restores 
the expected functionality. Again, this is just an (_very_) ugly 
hack-around, and YMMV, but it seems to work for me. I'm not precisely 
sure what to expect should xfpm begin handling sleep events, but I'd 
guess that you'd get a "double suspend" where waking the computer up 
from suspend lets the second event put it back to sleep.

haven't tried from the logout screen, couldn't try from xfpm when I had
killed it, but when it is running it does the right thing when it is
running. it is just sleep button - which seems to lock the xscreen saver
but not goto sleep mode

Well, it won't do anything when not running, obviously. Did you
configure it to do what you want, and does it detects when you press the
sleep button?

Basically, do the same tests as the other reporter.

Okay I re tested just know, when I have xfpm started (and I have policy
kit installed - the readme.debian don't actually give any explicit info,
just that policykit should be installed and login happen from GDM -
which I have and I do)

I pressed my sleep key and nothing happened (i have xfpm started)

done some more testing, rebooting. now using the icon to suspend doesn't
suspend the machine, it does lock the screen.

Ok so first you have a permissions problem, which is unrelated to this
bug (which is about sleep/hibernate buttons not detected by xfpm).

Check ck-list-session and polkit-auth. Make sure root isn't logged in.

Looks like a permission problem indeed.

Ok, what's the status on this one. I've been a bit lost due to other
people replying with I guess different issues. So what about the initial
complain? Are you still not able to suspend using hardware key (even
when configured correctly in xfpm) while you can using the right click
on the systray icon and select suspend or hibernate?

Cheers,

Package: xfce4-power-manager
Version: 0.8.4-1
Severity: normal

Hello all,
I have the exact same issue on a Lenovo T400 (which is merely an update of the original poster's computer, the T61).
xfce4-power-manager simply ignores both the suspend and hibernate keys. They work perfectly with gnome-power-manager and selecting suspend or hibernate from the click menu on the tray icon for xfpm also works perfectly.

hal reports:
00:14:15.587: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = hibernate
00:14:17.310: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = sleep

acpi_listen reports:
button/suspend SUSP 00000080 00000000
button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000000

Not exactly (if it was, it would work for you :) )

Could you first test on 0.8.4.1-1 (latest available version) and report
back? It might be related to how keys are mapped too, so it could depend
on X, kernel version etc.
