Re: upowerd result in black screen about every half minute

sudo pacman -U upower-0.9.6-0.20100929-i686.pkg.tar.xz
Password:

warning: cannot resolve "libusb1>=1.0.8", a dependency of "upower"
:: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:

Do you want to skip the above package(s) for this upgrade? [y/N] y
looking for inter-conflicts...
there is nothing to do

What to do?
I do the downgrade also libusb1?

P.S. I don't know how to debug...

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

i don't know. compile upower without that commit.

patch -R to revert that commit when applying.

I cannot test anything because i'm not affected at all. That's why i'm asking you guys to do all the research and at least the report upstream. If they asked me something specific I cannot answer.

Re: upowerd result in black screen about every half minute

I'm not affected too. smile
@guys_with_this_problem
try to recompile last upower, changing the variable I posted above from 30 to 10. Then, if black screen occurs every 10 seconds, that's the base to make a debug.

I think that is it.
in the timer handler, it will test if the computer is docked, but I can't understand what's that mean? what means "docked"? I have AC power.

@niqingliang

/* the metric we're using here is that a machine is docked when
+ * there is more than one active output */

hmmm...so, are they considering a multi-monitor setting, a docking situation?

Re: upowerd result in black screen about every half minute

Yes, but the software poll drm interfaces every 30 seconds. So have one or two or n monitors make non difference.

Re: upowerd result in black screen about every half minute

Upgrading to kernel 2.6.37 from testing solved the problem.

Finally this solved the problem also for me, under arch64 and an Intel Core i3. Thank you!

Re: upowerd result in black screen about every half minute

I have the same problem, flickering every 30 seconds.
Upgrading to kernel-2.6.37 doesn't help me.
Only killing upowerd stops it.
