Enable suspend on lid close?

[Ed_P]

/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state

Code: Select all

state:      open

[tome]

Try this (replaced LID with LID0):

Code: Select all

case $(cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state | awk '{print $2}') in
    closed) echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
;;
esac

[Ed_P]

No effect.

[tome]

Maybe you need close lid more than only black screen, try this: url deleted (file is in my dropbox - examples folder)
paste also this in terminal, close lid (partial but enough), press Enter, open lid and see output.
Sorry
paste

Code: Select all

cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state

Good news, bad news.

Bad news 1st. I get a 403 error when I click on your link.

Good news. Before I went out to shovel snow I manually Suspended the netbook and closed the cover. When I came in opened the cover and read your posting, made the acpi_handle.sh change you posted, closed the lid to see if I could press Enter, I couldn't but the system went into suspend mode!!!!!!!! I tried closing and reopening the lid several times and each time suspend mode is working,

I will reboot and retry in case this is a fluke.

[Ed_P]

Reboot, closed lid, no suspend. Manually suspended via desktop icon, activated, closed lid, no suspend. Manually suspended via Leave options, activated, closed lid, no suspend.

What happened????????

[tome]

Have you saved your session and acpi_handler?

[Ed_P]

Changes were saved and acpi_handler.sh changes are present.

[tome]

try this: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ui4ydoh3j34x ... handler.sh copy text or file (but for file set correct permissions)

[Ed_P]

Downloaded, copied, no change.

Ok, the problem is I'm flying as blind as a bat.

This works:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions

IFS=${IFS}/
set $@

case "$1" in
  button)
    case "$2" in
      power) /sbin/init 0    
         ;;
      lid) 
           case "$3" in
             close) /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
               ;;
           esac 
         ;;
      *) logger "ACPI action $2 is not defined"
         ;;
    esac
    ;;
  *)
    logger "ACPI group $1 / action $2 is not defined"
    ;;
esac

case $(cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state | awk '{print $2}') in
    closed) echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
;;
esac
case $(cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state | awk '{print $2}') in
    closed) echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
;;
esac

IF I do this:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest#  /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh button lid close
method return sender=:1.14 -> dest=:1.57 reply_serial=2
cat: /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state: No such file or directory

The problem is apparently when the lid is actually closed "close" isn't the 3rd option. And the two commands previously suggested don't work in 2.1 thus we don't know what the value of the 3rd option really is when the lid is closed. Is there some way to write to some log file when the script runs that can be viewed later when the lid is raised????



This works also!!

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions

IFS=${IFS}/
set $@

case "$1" in
  button)
    case "$2" in
      power) /sbin/init 0    
         ;;
      lid) 
           case "$3" in     
             open) echo "!"
               ;; 
             *) /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
               ;;
           esac 
         ;;
      *) logger "ACPI action $2 is not defined"
         ;;
    esac
    ;;
  *)
    logger "ACPI group $1 / action $2 is not defined"
    ;;
esac

case $(cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state | awk '{print $2}') in
    closed) echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
;;
esac
case $(cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state | awk '{print $2}') in
    closed) echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
;;
esac

In terminal mode:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# leafpad /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh
root@porteus:/home/guest#  /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh button lid open
!
cat: /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state: No such file or directory
root@porteus:/home/guest#  /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh button lid close
method return sender=:1.14 -> dest=:1.71 reply_serial=2
cat: /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state: No such file or directory
root@porteus:/home/guest#  /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh button lid 
method return sender=:1.14 -> dest=:1.77 reply_serial=2
cat: /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state: No such file or directory
root@porteus:/home/guest# 

But not when the lid is closed.

    ;;

No idea why, but it does and that's all that counts.

Thanks tome, I couldn't have gotten here without you.

And you too fanthom. The fishing rod helped also.

[tome]

Is there some way to write to some log file when the script runs that can be viewed later when the lid is raised

execute this in terminal (but with default acpi_handler)

Code: Select all

sleep 3 && cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state

and close lid for 3 seconds
I think it is easier to edit '/etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh' than acpi_handler.sh.
Strange behavior with this acpi script

[Ed_P]

execute this in terminal (but with default acpi_handler)

I have no plans on touching this stupid file again for quite awhile.

I think it is easier to edit '/etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh' than acpi_handler.sh.

It may be but i was never sure it was ever being used.

I only hope that the lid closing automatically invoking suspension gets added to 3.0 and up as a default config so we don't have to repeat this effort.
