acpid fix

December 31, 2009 — BarryK
On the forum Quirky 002 feedback thread, shinobar reported:

Quirky-002 does not shutdown by power button because acpi_poweroff attempts to call /usr/X11/bin/wmpoweroff but is not there.
Rewright '/usr/X11/bin/wmpoweroff' to 'wmpoweroff' at the bottom of the script /etc/acpi/actions/acpi_power_off.

Or, install acpid-1.0.8-7.pet available from here: http://shino.pos.to/linux/puppy/.
The duration of the closing dialog is adjustable by changing the number 'TIMELIMIT=30' at the top of /etc/acpi/actions/acpi_power_off.


I will upload this PET to the Quirky repository at ibiblio.org soon.
