| psionic | what is the way to disable the laptop going into sleep mode every time you close it without any fancy gui tools? | 16:49 |
|---|---|---|
| psionic | I installed this acpi-support package which was not there to begin with | 16:49 |
| psionic | which has the lid.sh for example | 16:50 |
| psionic | then in /etc/default/acpi-support I set LID_SLEEP=false | 16:51 |
| psionic | reboot no effect, it was doing it even before this package was installed | 16:51 |
| psionic | ppl blaming this on the bios lol that is retarded | 16:51 |
| fsmithred | psionic, check elogind settings | 17:01 |
| fsmithred | if you have a desktop environment installed, check the power manager and screensaver settings | 17:02 |
| psionic | fluxbox has none | 17:03 |
| fsmithred | if you want to do that with commands instead of clicky, look at xfconf-query (for xfce) | 17:03 |
| fsmithred | oh, ok | 17:03 |
| fsmithred | actually I do recall having a computer that had some kind of sleep settings in the bios. I think it was just for the monitor. | 17:04 |
| fsmithred | check /etc/elogind/logind.conf | 17:04 |
| fsmithred | try commenting out the LID_SLEEP line just in case. Mine is true but commented and the laptop doesn't sleep unless I use pm-suspend. | 17:09 |
| fsmithred | using openbox here. No elogind either. | 17:10 |
| greenjeans | Morning! What's the topic today? | 17:10 |
| fsmithred | lid sleep | 17:11 |
| greenjeans | ahhh | 17:11 |
| fsmithred | greenjeans, got your email, thanks. | 17:11 |
| greenjeans | sleep or suspend? | 17:11 |
| fsmithred | suspend | 17:12 |
| fsmithred | unwanted suspend | 17:12 |
| greenjeans | ahhh, so need to shut lid without suspending? | 17:12 |
| greenjeans | well that's backwards of the issue I usually have, lol | 17:13 |
| psionic | there is no elogind not even installed | 17:16 |
| greenjeans | Used to have to edit /etc/acpi/events but elogind is different | 17:17 |
| psionic | if I stop acpid it goes to sleep too so something else doing it | 17:17 |
| greenjeans | in fact in the acpi days, I had to add a custom entry specifically to make it suspend when you closed the lid, default it didn't do anything | 17:19 |
| fsmithred | testing. brb | 17:20 |
| fsmithred | confirmed: setting LID_SLEEP=false does not work. You have to comment the line. | 17:24 |
| fsmithred | wait a minute, I think I said that wrong | 17:25 |
| fsmithred | actually it might work - I need to make sure that setting it to true works here. | 17:26 |
| fsmithred | yeah, it works | 17:30 |
| fsmithred | i.e. setting LID_SLEEP to either true or false does the right thing here | 17:30 |
| fsmithred | no power manager, no elogind | 17:31 |
| djph | ... i just disabled the switch entirely on my machine. Nuclear option, go! | 20:07 |
| cousin_luigi | djph: If you gotta make a mistake, you might as well make a big one! | 20:09 |
| djph | it was less of a "mistake" and more of a "okay how do I stop ACPI from sleeping this machine on lid-close | 20:10 |
| djph | nuclear option was the first one I came across :/ | 20:11 |
| Xenguy | fsmithred, I assume your ranger config tests were on Daedalus and not Chimaera? | 20:35 |
| fsmithred | excalibur | 20:36 |
| Xenguy | Thought so (couldn't get the image preview working on ranger in spite of my research and fiddling. No worries, I'll wait until Daedalus : -) | 20:37 |
| fsmithred | I'm liking excalibur so far, but that's with just a window manager and startx. Works great. | 20:39 |
| Centurion_Dan | Did I miss the meeting? | 23:44 |
| fsmithred | Centurion_Dan, yes | 23:46 |
| fsmithred | 20:30 UTC | 23:46 |
| Centurion_Dan | Daylight saving change... | 23:47 |
| fsmithred | golinux was an hour early | 23:49 |
| fsmithred | after 10 years, I finally have it figured out | 23:50 |
