If you have only PolicyKit maybe your HAL or an other policy (HAL dbus config or the dbus config itself, there are so many possible sources for this problem) is brocken. You should report it to the Fedora Bugzilla, it sounds to me like a general problem with the policies and not like a KPowersave specific problem. - Oct 30 2007

The other sounds to me like a problem with D-Bus or HAL config. KPowersave should run as normal user without any problem. If you use the default Debian package: also file a bug or ask at 'powersave-users at forge dot novell dot com'. There should also be some debian guys. - Nov 12 2006

If you take a look at the description, you can download a package for SUSE 10.1 from the factory repository from the opensuse servers. Btw. we plan a YOU update in the next weeks to update the package.
While the package from factory work on 10.1 we don't plan to provide extra packages. If we have to much changes in factory, we add packages to sf.net and announce this. - Jul 06 2006

Since I scheduled a update for Monday, I don't plan to fix this. You can also use the package from: http://www.mytux.org/content/viewslackpackage.php . - Jun 08 2006

If the daemon is not running start powersaved. If this not fix the problem, write a mail to powersave-usersATforge.novell.com. The debian package mainatainer is also on this list and should be able to help you. - Apr 27 2006

From the powersave project homepage on sourceforge.net you can get the needed powersave package and also the for KPowersave needed dbus-qt3 (and if you need also a dbus-qt3-devel rpm) rpm for i386.
As I said, you need to disable SELinux support completely or at least the related rule for acpi(d).
Please report problems or any feedback to powersave-users AT forge dot novell dot com - Apr 20 2006

2.) This is documented in the README. I added unchanged source (and the instructions in README) because I had problems to get make dist working with the package. Patches to get make dist running are welcome ;-)
3.) Good to know. Was this the compile error because of __u32 ? Was not sure what the problem was in this case. I added a workaround for this to the FC4 powersave package already, but if this was the problem, I fix this for the next package. - Apr 19 2006

Btw. I also could provide i386 packages for FC5, but the problem was selinux. powersave and kpowersave only work if you disable selinux for acpid/acpi or disable selinux complete. I don't know how to fix it, I have no experiences with selinux (SUSE dropped it). - Apr 19 2006

Instead of hacking single powermanagement tasks in HAL only because they are not able to develop and implement a own daemon we go the unix way and use/develop a daemon for on special task: powermanagement.
Btw. g-p-m has not nearly the same functionality as (K)powersave. Only some examples: How do you handle powermangement with g-p-m if nobody is logged in to your machine? How do you change your CPU freq with g-p-m? ... - Mar 24 2006

looks to me as if the powersave daemon is not running. Check if the daemon runs and if not, start. - Mar 12 2006

Btw. If you have a problem with powersave or KPowersave: subscribe (http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/maillist/?group_id=1438) and mail to 'powersave - users at forge dot novell dot com' . We can provide there a better support for users than here ;-) - Mar 10 2006

some advantages:
- switchable schemes (currently 5 for different situations, root can define more if needed via powersaved)
- integrated screensaver/dpms/brightness (if supported by hw) handling
- integrated (and switchable) CPUFreq and throttling handling (if supported by hw)
- autosuspend
- integrated suspend/standby trigger (and communication with powersave while suspend process about errors and progress)
- also if no user is logged in to desktop: powermanagement is handled by powersave daemon systemwide
- you can use kpowersave also on GNOME (not sure if this would work with klaptop so easy)
- you don't need run setuid scripts or helper because the powersave daemon handle all things as root daemon
- several ppl. say: more active maintained
- the combination of powersave and KPowersave replace several other daemons: apmd, cpufreqd, powernowd ...
- ... for more see featurelist, handbook and powersave documentation
disadvantages:
- you need a aditional package (powersave), some ppl. maybe don't like this
- currently no integration in kcontrol, but we plan a kcm module
I hope this help you. If you have more questions: subscribe and mail to: 'powersave - users at forge dot novell dot com'. Btw. which distribution do you use? - Mar 10 2006

If you compile for Mandriva you don't need resmgr, this _was_ SUSE specific. Btw. I suppose you compile and install a actual powersave and KPowersave version. Unfortunatly we currently have no rpms for Mandriva - I had problems with connect powersave to dbus my testinstallaion of Mandriva ... but you can try it (with powersave 0.12.1 and KPowersave 0.5.9). If you need more help: feel free to subscribe and write to powersave-devel@forge.novell.com. - Mar 01 2006

If configure has detected your distribution as Redhat you have this file: /etc/redhat-release. Is there also this file: /etc/mandrake-release or something like that?
The yast check is in there because KPowersave was developed for SUSE and we have there a special YaST module to configure the powersave daemon. This message is thus correct and no problem. - Mar 01 2006

On Debian you can get KPowersave/powersave with 'apt-get install kpowersave' and for Ubuntu you can download packages from http://www.teco.edu/~biebl/ubuntu
I think the packages will be updated as soon as possible by the debian/ubuntu package maintianer/packager (Michael Biebl). - Jan 20 2006
