 Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2016 7:25 am Post subject: Xfce can't suspend automatically, but can manually |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm running the newest Xfce (4.12), gentoo-sources-4.4.8, openrc-0.19.1, pm-utils-1.4.1-r6, upower-pm-utils-0.9.23-r2.
When I select Suspend in the Logout menu in Xfce, I can suspend just fine. The screen locks and the system goes to sleep (even tho the process takes like 10 seconds to complete)
I have also set Xfce to suspend when inactive for a while. However, when it triggers, Xfce dutifully locks the screen but then refuses to go to sleep. Instead, the Power Manager pops up a notification about missing kernel support. Which is quite obviously not true.
What does it need? Why is manual suspend working then? Any ideas?

Solved. consolekit needs the pm-utils useflag.
This piece of information is very hard to discover. I really think it needs to be documented better. |

Bump.
Still happening. "no kernel support" appears to be a message from upower. But upower -d definitely yields can-suspend: yes, xfce-power-manager --dump yields Can suspend: True, Authorized to suspend: True
Just what is Xfce doing differently when suspending to the timer compared to pressing the button? |

yeah, got same problem also! Since upgrading to XFCE 4.10, I have encountered frequent problems of the screen blanking after 10 mins (no matter what the power settings are set at) or even if I will turn off after 30 mis. |

There is an upgrade to xfce4-power-manager-1.6.0 (I'm running 1.4.4). However it requires sys-power/upower instead of sys-power/upower-pm-utils.
In the past, this combination was sure to break suspending entirely (sys-power/upower doesn't work well without systemd). Is this still an issue? |
