acpid not logging - or doing other things
Hi folks
I'm trying to get this machine running Lenny to suspend to disc when I
press the power button.
The problem that I'm having is that modifying /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh or
/etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh seems to have no effect. After
restarting acpid, pressing the button has no effect at all - neither the
one in the original version of the file (do a shutdown) nor mine.
Same issue with the lid.
Thought I'd have a look in /var/log to see what events are being picked
up, but can find no acpi events being logged in either messages, syslog,
daemon.log, kern.log or appearing in dmesg, for that matter.
I know that I must have some acpi support here as I'm able to look at my
battery info through /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state.
If it's relevant, I'm running the 2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64, which I need for
wlan support.
Ideas?
Cheers
M
