kde 3.2 & pbbuttonsd

I just updated to kde 3.2 and found that it has a replacement for gtkpbbuttons. unfortunately, when the laptop suspends and resumes it quits working. with gtkpbbuttons I just ran it again on resume.

but I don't know what program to run again for this, does anyone know?

hi
the app is called kmilo.
You can disable it under KDE Components-->Service Manager in the KDE Controllcenter. Unfortunately there are no settings for kmilo...

I can suspend and resume my iBook 800 and kmilo still runs without problems.

Maybe you could try to update pbbuttonsd to the newest version?

I should try that.

what version of pbbuttonsd and the kernel are you running?

I'm running ppc-development-sources-2.6.1-r1. I can't suspend at all on battery, only on AC power.

ppc-development-sources-2.6.2_rc1-r1 + this caps-lock patch:
http://teksolv.de/~jameson/ppc/caps.path-2.4.6.gz (I had to manually update it to 2.6)

pbbuttonsd-0.5.8

I can suspend in battery-mode, although I have some problems with my power-key after I applied the caps-lock patch: It seems to me that caps-lock and power have the same keycode. I guess this is the reason that suspend sometimes only works on cover closedown.

I opened a new thread about the caps-lock kernel patch:

awesome! the version of the kernel and pbbuttonsd you're using fixed my problems.

do you use mol on the console? I ran molvconfig and had it probe the current mode only. when I ran startmol --osx though the login screen has a blueish tinge to it, as if the color channels were out of order. I should start another thread about that.

I run a Linux-only system, so no mol for me.

BTW, I like the webpage link in your signature (which you already updated with this new info!). It was a very good resource for my first-time installation.

Thanks, glad it helped get you started!

the mol solution was to switch OS X to millions of colors from the thousands it somehow got set to.
