No worries.

You might try doing a hal-set-property.  You might have to call it four times to replace the hibernate value since it's the second item.

I did this and checked the result by running:

alexander knospe:~$ lshal --long --show /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
  | grep org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths

This returned the wanted result - /usr/sbin/hibernate was on 2nd place.


Then I rebooted and when I now do a lshal, I see that the value is reset
to the default value.

How can I make it so, that the changes done with hal-set-property
last? Or would I actually have to modify the fdi file?
