hi radky,

i'm trying to find a way to standby a precise pup 5.4.91,
kernel 3.8.0, on a dell inspiron b120

yr thread caught my eye. when the pupshutdown pet
in the link downloaded as a .gz file i was disconcerted
but clicked on it. the archiver offered to unpack to the same location so i did that then renamed it to .pet file

however, the ppm reports failure to install. i had a look
through yr thread and didn't see any mention of the
snags i've hit. what do you suggest? thank you.

cheers, mm

thanks for the speedy reply, radky

when i go to the url you provide i'm
offered the same .gz file which i did
not know what to do with before.

when i approach the pupshutdown
from the radky side of the url, i see
the index of yr .pet files but when
i click on one it shows up in the download
manager as a .gz file.

perhaps it's a quirk in the opera browser
download manager, though it would be a
first. i'll try with a different d-l manager.

i let you know what happens, cheers, mm

good catch, radky, thanks.
i'll try installing it after a bit
of sleep. i found that the opera
browser downloader worked
worked ok when it was run from
linux. i was having my problems
while using opera on win-xp.
cheers, mm

hi radky,
installed fine, nice piece of work.
i had the notion that there was a
way of invoking standby using acpitool.
does the standalone acpitool.pet
do the job? do i need to put files
in particular places ?
cheers, mm

thanks again, radky
i've used the acpitool pet on other pups
it wouldn't work on the target compu/os,
gave a no access to /pro/acpi/sleep notice.
that's why i'm trying yr fine app but i did not
see a standby button in the display of buttons.
does the standby button only appear when
standby is possible, ie, when acpitool is present?
i'll keep you posted. cheers, mm
