I am trying to use the rolling update model properly and check the web page for issues before doing my pacman Syu.
I updated gnome-power-manager (along with the other available updates) today amd immediately noticed different behaviour.
The laptop (Dell Inspiron 1720) no longer suspended when I shut the lid. I still had the shutdown menu option but... when I used it it intermittently caused segmentation fault errors in nvidia settings and stuff like Google Earth no longer worked. My graphics card is geForce 8600M GT.
Downgrading the gnome-power-manager package restored everything to working order.
Maybe I did something daft, but I'd like to know if there is something else I should have checked or if there is a problem with this package. In the meantime I've added it to IgnorePkg

take a look here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 63#p535163
if you don't understand what you have to do just ask.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I'm probably being thick as I thought I did ask. I'll be more careful with my wording next time.
Anyway, this seems to be a reported bug (according to the Gnome web site) regarding timing issues.

i just pointing out that you can try to fix it yourself(until is fixed in our repo) by compiling gnome-power-manager using abs and add that option to the ./configure within PKGBUILD.
