 Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2014 7:45 pm Post subject: Missing suspend & hibernate options in KDE |
 |
|
I just installed Gentoo on my new laptop about a week ago, but KDE doesn't offer the menu options to suspend or hibernate the system, both in the menu (K menu or Lancelot, I've tried both) and in the Power Management settings applet. Suspend and hibernate functionality does work, and I can manually trigger them by running pm-suspend or pm-hibernate respectively, I just can't get the corresponding buttons to show up in KDE.
I have =sys-power/upower-0.99.0-r1 installed, and running upower -d gives, in part, the following output
| Code: | $ upower -d
...
Daemon:
daemon-version: 0.99.0
on-battery: no
lid-is-closed: no
lid-is-present: yes
is-docked: no
critical-action: PowerOff
|
In particular the "can-suspend" and "can-hibernate" lines are not present (which some other sites have recommended checking).
I've disabled and re-enabled the Power Management service in System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Service Manager, and nothing changed.
Some sites recommend using qdbus to check the org.freedesktop.login1 service. That doesn't exist on my laptop.
| Code: | $ qdbus org.freedesktop.login1
Service 'org.freedesktop.login1' does not exist.
$ qdbus --system org.freedesktop.login1
Service 'org.freedesktop.login1' does not exist. |
The org.freedesktop.PowerManagement service does exist, and when I use it to query whether suspend or hibernate are enabled, it reports that they are not:
| Code: | $ qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.CanSuspend
false
$ qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.CanHibernate
false |
Perhaps this is at the root of the problem?
If I actually try to suspend or hibernate using DBus,
| Code: | $ qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Suspend
$ qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Hibernate
|
it locks the screen but does not actually suspend or hibernate the system.
The file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy doesn't exist. (And just to be sure, I checked that no file in /usr/share/polkit-1 mentions suspend or hibernate.)
What else can I check or fix to see the suspend/hibernate buttons and menu options? |

You need upower-pm-utils, that will keep you on the last version of upower that supported pm-utils since it's been deprecated.
| Code: |
emerge -C sys-power/upower && emerge sys-power/upower-pm-utils

I did what you write last kde update o so, but now it doesn't work anymore.
Maybe after the very last kde update.
Thanks.

What does that means, you don't have the menu options anymore?
Does pm-hibernate (as root) works? |

How do you start kde? startx or kdm?
If startx, can you post your .xinitrc (Maybe a *kit problem)
You use openrc or systemd? |

Yep! Suspend option disappeared.
pm-hibernate hibernates but do not resume... but I think it's because I didn't set it up with hibernate file or partition.
pm-supend work lika a charm as usual.
I'm using openrc, and kdm.
####EDIT####
WTF!!! They are back! Don't know how and why, but they are back!
I did nothing but go to the cinema, answer to you questions and test pm-*
Thanks is the only thing I may say! |

Doesn't work with me anymore too. The menu point for hibernate ans suspend are gone. Doesn't seem to be a Plasma issue as it doesn't work with other desktops, for instance lxde, either. It's for some weeks now. I do not use that notebook anymore and I hadn't the time to look into it.
pm-hibernate/suspend works if issued as root. |

| Sorry for the late reply; I couldn't access the forums over the weekend. Unmerging upower and switching to upower-pm-utils did the trick for now (so thanks), but what do I do when upower-0.9 (and upower-pm-utils) become obsolete and are removed from the Portage tree? |
