[karmic] guidance-power-manager does not remember lid close settings

[Stefan Fleiter]

Binary package hint: guidance-power-manager

When configuring guidance-power-managers action for the lid close event
the configuration is forgotten when guidance-power-manager is shut down.

If I close the lid before the next shutdown of kde the configured action
works as desired, but after the restart the setting is set back to doing nothing.

Anything missing here?
Is anybody able to reproduce this?

I confirm this behaviour on Kubuntu 9.10, kde-guidance-powermanager 4:4.3.0-0ubuntu1

Setting to confiremed as per comment 3.

The problem is that parsing of the lid action setting does not work as intended. It expects a ValueError when invoking value.toInt() which instead returns 0 resulting a selection of "Nothing" on each restart of guidance-power-manager.

In Lucid 10.04 there does not seem to be a package for guidance-power-manager anymore, only some plasma thingie called battery.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

guidance-power-manager was removed from lucid since it's unmaintained now. Unfortunately this means that further bugfixes cannot be provided, since it no longer exists in 10.04 or onwards.
