With these, I lost the ability to suspend the laptop. I trield by directly communicating with HAL:
sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.1
sys-auth/policykit-0.9-r1
sys-apps/hal-0.5.14-r2
kde-base/powerdevil-4.4.5
kde-base/policykit-kde-4.4.5
The program answered:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0
I don't have the clue why this is happening, so I found a workaround by adding the following to the local_start() function of /etc/conf.d/local:
Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.UnknownError: error: org.freedesktop.Hal.Error: Could not determine whether caller is privileged
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Error
I also had to make sure the suspension policies were enabled for the relevant users in PolicyKit through KDE's System Settings.
sleep 3s && /etc/init.d/hald restart
Update Oct 13, 2010 - Thanks to Motosauro's comments, I checked for the workaround in my current setup:
The workaround is no longer needed.
sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.1
sys-auth/policykit-0.9-r1
sys-apps/hal-0.5.14-r3 -apm
kde-base/powerdevil-4.5.2

Hi
ReplyDeleteI had the same issue, same package versions and restarting hald after login made it work.
I just saw that I emerged hal with the apm flag disabled.
I'm re-emerging it right now with apm enabled to see whether that was the issue
BTW I'm on Xfce4: I think it's really a hal thing
Thanks anyway for pointing me tothe right direction
It was the apm flag :)
ReplyDeleteAt least for me
Now everything works just fine
Bye
Thanks for the pointers, please check out the update.
