[EN] What is managing power management?
« on: 2014/06/26, 17:16:31 »
Hi,


I'm trying to figure out which part of the system is controlling power management.  Specifically, what triggers suspend when the laptop lid is closed.  At first I thought this was done by acpid.  However, I've shutdown acpid and acpi-support, and closing the lid still suspends.  There's a strange process called ktpacpid, which I don't seem to be able to kill or shutdown.


Which process controls this behaviour and how can it be configured (e.g. don't suspend when on AC)?

Depends on your DE. In KDE you can do this in systemsettings.

Hi,


I'm using Xmonad, so I'm starting everything manually (in .xinitrc).  I am currently not starting any power manager (e.g. xfce4-power-manager).
