Another ACPI question, 7.2-release
It seems that in 7.2-release I can only invoke the 'zzz' command to suspend my system if I use sudo. On previous (pre-7.x) versions I could do this as any user. Now, if I try to run zzz as a regular user, I get

I then checked acpiconf: Quote:
If I attempt 'acpiconf -s3' manually I get the same error I see when I attempt 'zzz'. I also checked /etc/rc.suspend and /etc/rc.resolve, they are both world-executable as well. Does anyone have a suggestion for what else I should check to be able to run zzz without sudo? |

FreeBSD like OpenBSD routes all power management related commands via the older apm(4) interface.
There should be 2 device nodes in /dev related to apm, group write permission may be required to change such settings. I'm not entirely sure, I don't really play with power management.. don't own any laptops.. my systems are always on, if I wasn't using them they would simply be off. EDIT: All of the above is most likely wrong, just noticed that FreeBSD has several sysctl members related to acpi(4) and likely uses them instead, explaining why users cannot control this information. Sorry. Last edited by BSDfan666; 20th September 2009 at 11:19 PM. |
