I was very disappointed about the Kpowersave manager which comes with linpus. Nearly everything was stripped down!
So i decided to replace the linpus package with a "real" kpowersave package.
- First of all you have to install the new fedora-release 8-6 package which can be found in the package manager. This installs actual yum configs which resolve a lot of dependency problems. Then you would need yum-utils for downloading. Open a Terminal and use following commands:
- Code: Select all
sudo yum install fedora-release yum-utils
sudo yumdownloader kpowersave
sudo rpm -U --force kpowersave*
- Now its time to restart and you should see the new battery icon in the taskbar indicating that new Kpowersave
is up and running. - Finally right click the icon an configure it to your needs.
After you are running the new kpowersave version you might notice that power off via the power button does not work.
- To fix this you have to edit /etc/acpi/events/power.conf.
- Code: Select all
sudo mousepad /etc/acpi/events/power.conf &
- Change the action= line to:
- Code: Select all
action=/sbin/shutdown -h now
- After restarting, power off via the power button should work.

I was just wondering since I've tried this earlier if you've had better luck than me...)
ok doing backup right now and then going to try the upgrade.. would be sweet if that worked, much easier than what i've been doing
