[Bug 246268] Re: acpid eventually stops getting acpi events on hardy

[Thomas Hotz]

Marc, do you still use this laptop? I have done a research on the
internet you might try a new Ubuntu version. Thank you very much!

Title:
  acpid eventually stops getting acpi events on hardy

Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpid

  This started happening after I upgraded my laptop to
  1.0.4-5ubuntu9/hardy, it was working on the prior release I had.

  Problem is that acpid randomly stops getting acpi events from the
  laptop. What happens is that eventually I would close my lid, and the
  laptop would not go to sleep. After I re-opened the lid, if I
  restarted apcid, then it would go to sleep as many times as it missed
  lid events.

  I have currently successfully worked around the problem with:
  1 * * * * root find /var/log -mmin -240 -name acpid | grep -q acpid || /etc/init.d/acpid restart

  The problem is somewhat serious since the laptop not going to sleep
  when the lid is closed and thrown in a backpack not only kills the
  battery, but can also severely heat up the laptop depending on what
  thermal protection it has.

  If I can gather some info on the stuck acpid before I restart it, let
  me know.
