Hi, |
| 40 |
have you installed elogind? - for me it took over and replaced the |
| 41 |
acpi functions by intercepting the call beforehand. It also hijacks |
| 42 |
suspend hibernate. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
A couple of weks back it "broke" and is is recording the power button is |
| 45 |
pressed but doesnt take the actions required by its config file. |
| 46 |
"loginctl suspend" works ... sort of ... |
