SystemCrash86 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Hey guys, I'm having abit of a problem with the new Kali Linux 2.0. Everything works great on my laptop except that when my laptop battery is critical i want it to poweroff/shutdown however no matter what i triy it keeps going in hibernate and i don't want that. In settings i have changed from suspend to power off when critcal and it makes no difference. Also in dconf-editor i changed it so laptop should shutdown when battery critical and this to makes no difference. Does any one have any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you Quote
digip Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) after talking with muts, he says there i sno fork from the debian base on power, so it's a matter I guess of settings or installing the needed tools, ie:acpi/acpid and such. goign to try an ISO on my laptop so I can see what is what, but this should work like it does with native debian on a laptop.

digip Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) acpi is generally what monitors events for power, or at least that's been my familiarity with it, but I could be wrong. you should be able to monitor and shutdown on battery levels with acpi though, but let me dig into this and get it working on my laptop. The VM is not going to help me see what you do since it's not going to show a battery, so the options for me dont' show anything for shutdown under power and battery options. edit: without even installing acpi, I can see that the default settings(at least in a live boot) are shutdown on critical battery, with nothing to change or set. From the power settings, scroll to the bottom under Suspend and Power off, and it's on shutdown by default, not hybernate. upower -d shows this as well, when critical, shutdown. Only time it goes to sleep is when the laptop lid is shut, which I can change under the tweak tool settings > power Can you screenshot/post what it says under "upower -d" for battery at the bottom of the output?

SystemCrash86 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 On the live boot it's not a problem because it says shutdown by default and does exactly that on critical battery. The problem occurs when i install Kali to my hard drive. After typing upower -d in terminal the bottom of the output reads: Daemon: daemon-version: 0.99.1 on-battery: yes lid-is-closed: no lid-is-present: yes critical-action: HybridSleep how do i change this?

digip Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Ah,I see. Try editing /etc/UPower/UPower.conf you can comment out and copy the last line to end in "PowerOff" (not sur eif case sensitive) instead of HybridSleep. I only say comment, so you can see the old command if you need to change back for any reason, but that last line should be it, change, reboot, then run the dump command and see what it outputs. Will need to test it I guess. My laptop I have to disable uefi just to boot kali since I need to make a perisstent thumbdrive with EFI files, which I haven't done yet. I have windows 8.1 and work files on the main system, so don't want to wipe what is on there. Need my photoshop and such for my job, so not an option for me right now to go fully native on the new laptop. if this still doesn't work, you can try changing the percentage policy to true as well. edit: btw, you can probably remove acpi and acpid, I thought maybe they were missing, but it looks like it's not using them for shutdown but instead upower and gnome power manager.

SystemCrash86 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 You're welcome. Fingers crossed it works. It didn't work, nothing i tried worked and this is a fresh iso install just in case. I edited /etc/Upower/Upower.conf to show "CriticalPowerAction=PowerOff" and uncommented the PowerOff value. Rebooted. And when i ran upower- d it still said HybridSleep at the bottom. Quote
digip Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Did you let it power all the way down? There are some setting sin there and an aritlca i saw that mentioned changign the settings to use percentages depending on firmware, but I'm not sure if that helps, or if the settings only change when at a critical level. By defautl it should hybernate or go to poweroff if it's too low for hybernation. I think you can adjust what levels it does things at as well if you look through the file on alert messages and such too. only other thing I can think to try is full blown https://projects.gnome.org/gnome-power-manager/ which has a panel and settings for what to do at which levels in the gui. Forgot gnome power mnager is already installed. Kinda stumped. Make sure ACPI is also enabled in the bios though, but if you had something else installed on this before and worked, then no need to check. Edited August 26, 2015 by digip Quote
digip Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 looking at some other posts from ubuntu users in general, from a few years past, looks like the hibernation mode is there by default in th event you have files opened, you'd lose them or corrupt anything in capture in a poweroff mode, vs hibernation which saves the last state of files opened. This is not unique to kali, although I'm still looking to see about how we go about changing this to a complete poweroff. Screenshots form gnome-power-manager vs what we have in kali differ and the options don't look the same, which I'm wondering if it's a gdm3 or other power daemon in control of these settings. Still, reading the documentation, it should hibernate unless below savable state for which it will then go to poweroff automatically, which you said isn't working. I'll have to build a thumb drive with EFI files so I can test with persistence as some point, but if you find out anything more, please let me know. Quote
SystemCrash86 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 I turned off gnome manager just to see what would happen and my laptop turns off like it should on critical power - however i lose all my notifications, none of them work so i don't know when it will turn off as there is no warning. But turning this off my computer seems to skip hibernation and go straight for shut down. I am very confused as to why gnome power manger doesn't work like it should. Quote

But turning this off my computer seems to skip hibernation and go straight for shut down. I am very confused as to why gnome power manger doesn't work like it should. Hybernation saves the state, poweroff, saves nothing. The monitoring and notification is usually done by a daemon like acpid and apps that tie into it, which gnome-power-manager, from what I can tell uses upower as it's daemon to monitor the status, but maybe isn't working in gdm3. that's where I'm at a loss as well, as the screenshots for gnome-power-manager on the site show options to alert in shutdown and at what power levels to warn at, while in kali, I don't see any options do change this, which I was hoping the upower config would handle. only thing i can think is libnotify is missing or broken maybe - https://projects.gnome.org/gnome-power-manager/ You can see form their page, it's definitely showing critical messages, which for gdm3, I think show up from the bottom of the monitor though, in a rectangular box. https://projects.gnome.org/gnome-power-manager/gpm.html Quote
SystemCrash86 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah those where the pages i went to before making this post, i did alot of googleing but still found nothing that worked. I am totally at a loss with this one Quote
