 Posted: Mon Jan 12, 2015 1:57 pm Post subject: Slim Fluxbox xfce4-power-manager - no suspend or hibernate |
 |
|
Hi !
I'm using fluxbox as my desktop environment but it lacks automatic suspend or hibernation.
I've used xscreensaver but it has no option for hibernate or suspend. And i'm trying now xfce4-power-manager, but the suspend and hibernate options are disabled...
My user can hibernate the laptop - I have an option in fluxbox to hibernate my computer, but i would love that it could do that without my intervention after a period of time..
I'm using openrc - acpi, udev and consolekit are running ...
What can i do to enable the options ? any hints ?
Best regards
Bruno Santos

My guess is that it's consolekit/polkit related. I know that in XFCE & LXDE I need to make sure that the consolekit and polkit use flags are set for suspend/hibernate to work. I also start my session with exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 for it to work.
One question, can you run ck-list-sessions from within X and post what it says. You should see "active = TRUE" in one of your sessions. |

Hi ! Thank you for the reply !
I've already check that and everything seems fine.
| Code: |
feiticeir0@nightcrawler ~ $ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = 'x11'
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2015-01-15T14:36:46.267172Z'
login-session-id = '2'
|
I start my session using slim and slim has support for consolekit !

Interesting, usually that's the issue. I'll give fluxbox a go tonight (I've used it for years on my lower power systems, but I generally don't suspend/hibernate them), and see if I can get it to work.
EDIT 1: Hmm, things seem to be working for me under both fluxbox & openbox. I see "Power Management Enabled" as in xscreensaver and all the times are changeable (not greyed out). I also tested suspend by closing my lid which worked.
I do see the following:
$ xfce4-power-manager --dump
---------------------------------------------------
Xfce power manager version 1.4.2
With policykit support
Without network manager support
---------------------------------------------------
Can suspend: True
Can hibernate: True
Authorized to suspend: True
Authorized to hibernate: True
Authorized to shutdown: True
Has battery: True
Has brightness panel: True
Has power button: True
Has hibernate button: True
Has sleep button: True
Has LID: True
Will you run that command and see if you get the same output? If it matters, this is a session started via startx (with a .xinitrc that just says "exec ck-launch-session fluxbox").
EDIT 2: I also see upowerd is running. |

Hi !
Thank you for the replies !
I can indeed hibernate and suspend with my user - but manually -
I'll give a go without slim and using .xinitrc
cheers

(WARN: I did not read all the above posts!)
Why don't you just pull in hibernate-script and use `hibernate' & `hibernate-ram' instead of that bloat? You need graphical buttons for that?
You can even bind the actual power switch/lid with a functional ACPI (check out acpid.)
Luck... may be with you.
NOTE: I don't want to waste my time on superfluous DE dependent package to suspend/hibernate when a script will do it with minimal dependencies.
