 Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2017 6:05 pm Post subject: LightDM login screen: Suspend button is greyed-out [Solved] |
 |
|
The Suspend button is greyed-out on the LightDM login screen but the Restart and Shutdown buttons are not and work as expected. Any help or advice on how to get the Suspend button on the login screen to work would be much appreciated.
I am not sure if this problem is particular to my installation, or if it is a bug in the upstream code or Gentoo ebuilds.
When I am logged-in, the Suspend button in the Plasma 5 application-launcher menu works fine (as do all the other buttons). The following command also causes the laptop to suspend as expected:
| Code: | | $ qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Suspend |
I am using the latest Stable version of KDE Plasma 5 (5.8.3) and the latest stable versions of LightDM and LightDM KDE Greeter:
| Code: | $ eix -I lightdm
[I] x11-misc/lightdm
Available versions: 1.16.7^t 1.18.3^t ~1.20.0^t ~1.21.3^t {audit +gnome +gtk +introspection kde qt4 qt5}

I have configured LightDM as follows:
| Code: | $ /usr/sbin/lightdm --show-config
[LightDM]
A session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
[Seat:*]
A greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter
A session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
A display-setup-script=/etc/X11/Sessions/plasma
Sources:
A /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf |
Although I believe it is not relevant to the current problem, for information the file /etc/X11/Sessions/plasma contains the following:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
GPU=`eselect opengl list | grep \* | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if [ "$GPU" = "nvidia" ]; then
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
fi |
As my installation uses OpenRC there is no systemd-logind, and therefore the following command fails as expected, but I don't think that matters:
| Code: | $ qdbus --system org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Suspend true
Cannot find 'org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Suspend' in object /org/freedesktop/login1 at org.freedesktop.login1 |
The most pertinent Web page I have found is Red Hat Bugzilla Bug Report No. 872797 - lightdm: provide polkit .rules for actions. The polkit rules file attached in Comment #16 of that bug report contains the following:
| Code: | polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
// check user is light dm
if (subject.user == "lightdm") {
// log requests
polkit.log("action=" + action);
polkit.log("subject=" + subject);
// check for shutdown / restart requests
if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.") == 0) {
return "yes";
}
// check for suspend / hibernate requests
if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.upower.") == 0) {
return "yes";
}
// check for logind requests
if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.login1.") == 0) {
return "yes";
}
}
}); |
As it refers to "org.freedesktop.consolekit.system." and "org.freedesktop.upower." in addition to "org.freedesktop.login1." I assume this rules file should work in an installation that does not use systemd-logind. However, the Gentoo ebuild for LightDM does not create a user lightdm (see Gentoo Bugzilla Bug Report No. 563564 - x11-misc/lightdm no create lightdm system user) so the above rules file cannot work in any case. But if I change the user in the above file from "lightdm" to "root" and save it as /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/60-lightdm.rules, the Suspend button on the LightDM KDE login screen is still greyed-out.
I've run out of ideas and would appreciate some help. TIA.
EDIT (2017-01-08 04:50 UTC): Looks like the upstream LightDM code might be the cause: Light Display Manager Bug #1631707 - Missing suspend and hibernate functionality for non-systemd systems with upower 0.99.0 => . Perhaps the LightDM developers only support systemd these days.

Yep, I'd forgotten about suspend/hibernate support being dropped by upower and moved to systemd-logind back in 2014:
https://gentoo.org/support/news-items/2014-06-03-upower-loses-hibernate-suspend-to-systemd.html

Author: Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2014-06-03
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: <sys-power/upower-0.99.0
UPower discontinued hibernate and suspend support in favor of systemd.
Because of this, we have created a compability package at
sys-power/upower-pm-utils which will give you the old UPower with
sys-power/pm-utils support back.
Some desktops have integrated the sys-power/pm-utils support directly
to their code, like Xfce, and as a result, they work also with the new
UPower as expected.
All non-systemd users are recommended to choose between:
# emerge --oneshot --noreplace 'sys-power/upower-pm-utils'
or
# emerge --oneshot --noreplace '>=sys-power/upower-0.99.0'
However, all systemd users are recommended to stay with sys-power/upower.
A small tip for GNOME _and_ systemd users, only 3.12 and newer support 0.99,
so if you see the package manager pulling in sys-power/upower-pm-utils
while using old GNOME, like 2.32 or 3.10, you _can_ prevent it by adding
a package.mask entry for >=sys-power/upower-0.99 |
Looking at the lightdm-1.18.3 source code, I see in liblightdm-gobject/power.c that, indeed, LightDM uses org.freedesktop.login1 (systemd-logind) to Suspend and Hibernate, with org.freedesktop.UPower as the fallback if systemd-logind is not working. And, as we know, upower =>0.99 no longer supports suspension and hibernation.
These days the advice in the Gentoo News item of 2014-06-03 has been superseded: We are now told that upower-pm-utils is no longer needed (Gentoo Bug Report No. 596988 - [TRACKER] sys-power/upower-pm-utils removal request) and we should unmerge it, merge upower, and merge consolekit with USE="pm-utils". This is because the version of ConsoleKit used by Gentoo supports Suspend/Hibernate. Even so, the LightDM code as it stands still uses only org.freedesktop.login1 and org.freedesktop.UPower, and so it still does not allow suspension and hibernation in Gentoo without systemd. So I attempted to modify power.c in lightdm-1.18.3 to use org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit for Suspend/Resume instead of org.freedesktop.UPower. I'm not sure I have done it correctly, but here's my patch anyway:

However, I subsequently discovered that the LightDM KDE Greeter (x11-misc/lightdm-kde-0.3.2.1-r1) also still assumes UPower provides Suspend and Hibernate: https://cgit.kde.org/lightdm.git/
So the Greeter is broken too. Arghhh! 
Anyway, I've wasted too much time on this already and I'm not going to waste more time trying to modify the KDE Greeter's code. Therefore, to stop it annoying me, I have removed the greyed-out Suspend button from the Greeter's login screen by changing the following entry in /usr/share/apps/lightdm-kde-greeter/themes/classic/main.qml from:
| Code: | PlasmaWidgets.IconWidget {
text: i18n("Suspend")
icon: QIcon("system-suspend")
enabled: power.canSuspend;
onClicked: {power.suspend();
} |
to:
| Code: | PlasmaWidgets.IconWidget {
text: i18n("Suspend")
icon: QIcon("system-suspend")
visible: power.canSuspend;
onClicked: {power.suspend();
} |
By the way, the reason the KDE Greeter doesn't display a Hibernate button is because it is hidden by default in /usr/share/apps/lightdm-kde-greeter/themes/classic/main.qml:
| Code: | PlasmaWidgets.IconWidget {
text: i18n("Hibernate")
icon: QIcon("system-suspend-hibernate")
//Hibernate is a special case, lots of distros disable it, so if it's not enabled don't show it
visible: power.canHibernate;
onClicked: {power.hibernate();
} |
Why oh why did freedesktop.org have to move the Suspend and Hibernate functionality out of UPower into systemd-logind. As a result it's a major PITA to try to get some applications to work properly if you don't use systemd.

Cracked it. \o/
I can now confirm that the patch to LightDM 1.18.3 given in my previous post functions as intended. It works when using the LightDM GTK Greeter, so forget the LightDM KDE Greeter as the code for Suspend and Hibernate from the login screen in the KDE Greeter is broken.
In brief, this is what I did:
1. Created the following ebuild in a local overlay:

2. Copied the files from /usr/portage/x11-misc/lightdm/files/ to /usr/local/portage/x11-misc/lightdm/files/ and created the patch file with the contents given in my previous post:
| Code: | # ls /usr/local/portage/x11-misc/lightdm/files/
1.18.3-upower-fix.patch README.gentoo Xsession lightdm lightdm-autologin lightdm.service |
3. Declared the LightDM environment variables in /etc/portage/make.conf:
| Code: | # grep -i lightdm /etc/portage/make.conf
LIGHTDM_GREETER="lightdm-gtk-greeter"
LIGHTDM_SESSION="plasma"
LIGHTDM_USER="root" |
4. Generated the manifest and merged the package. Then merged the package lightdm-gtk-greeter. The specified USE flags can be seen in the eix output below (I used qt4 in lightdm initially because the lightdm-kde ebuild does not yet support qt5):
| Code: | # eix -I lightdm

5. Edited lightdm.conf and lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf (I specified a nice background image file for the login screen):
| Code: | # grep -v ^# /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[LightDM]
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
[Seat:*]
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
display-setup-script=/etc/X11/Sessions/plasma
[XDMCPServer]
[VNCServer] |
| Code: | # grep -v ^# /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
[greeter]
background=/usr/share/wallpapers/larry-the-cow/gentoo-cow-gdm-remake-1920x1080.png
indicators=~language;~power |
The only reason I had to create and specify the file /etc/X11/Sessions/plasma is because my laptop has an NVIDIA GPU (Optimus hardware):
| Code: | # cat /etc/X11/Sessions/plasma
#!/bin/bash
GPU=`eselect opengl list | grep \* | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if [ "$GPU" = "nvidia" ]; then
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
fi |
By specifying "~power" as one of the indicators, a pull-down Power menu is displayed on the GTK Greeter screen with the options: Suspend; Hibernate; Restart; Shutdown. They all work. If I reinstall lightdm-1.18.3 from the main Portage tree (i.e. without my patch applied) then Suspend and Hibernate are greyed out. With my patch applied, they are not greyed-out, and I can suspend and hibernate the laptop.
By the way, I did not have to add or change any files in any of the /etc/polkit-1/ sub-directories:
| Code: | # ls -1 /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/*
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d:
10-org.freedesktop.upower.pkla
20-org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users.pkla
30-org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users.pkla
40-org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.suspend-multiple-users.pkla
50-org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.hibernate-multiple-users.pkla
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/20-org.d:
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/30-site.d:
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d:
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/90-mandatory.d:
# ls -1 /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/
49-polkit-pkla-compat.rules
50-default.rules |
So, there you have it. A patched lightdm-1.18.3 plus lightdm-gtk-greeter-2.0.1-r1 allow you to suspend, hibernate, restart and shutdown from the LightDM login screen.
Of course, the LightDM KDE Greeter is still fine to use if you are not bothered about being able to suspend and hibernate from the login screen. If you don't like the greyed-out Suspend button then you can edit /usr/share/apps/lightdm-kde-greeter/themes/classic/main.qml to hide it, as explained in my previous post.
EDIT: I have now filed a bug report regarding this fix for LightDM: Gentoo Bug Report No. 605370 - >=x11-misc/lightdm-1.18.3: Suspend/Hibernate not available on login screen of non-systemd installations.
