Hi
Edgy bug?

Although I do not have a laptop, (running Bianca with KDE installed, I get told by Synaptic that if I want to install Kpowersave, I will have to uninstall KDE!!

Put your script in the /etc/rc.local file.

then at each boot or run level change it will get run.

in the /etc/rc.local file put you two lines.

killall -QUIT hald-addon-acpi
/etc/init.d/powersaved restart

this will only run once at boot.

hald-addon-acpi is an executable of the hald daemon, from its library.
the hald daemon is started by the dbus daemon which is started before the powersaved daemon.

if you are killing off the hald-addon-acpi, and it does not restart, then why not try moving/deleting/renaming /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-acpi.
but i expect this to have all sorts of strange/bad effects with other devices. maybe.
worth a try.

you may just have to restart powersaved ,or this may not be required at all once hald-addon-acpi is gone.

how about manually starting acpi via the rc.local so it starts after the powersaved has started.

just some ideas.

I see this is an ongoing bug in ubuntu that started in edgy and has not been fixed yet even in fiesty....
