Title: UPower loses hibernate / suspend to systemd

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.

Stuck. -- desultory

[saellaven]

First, I hope your surgery went well...

Second, to quote you

UPower upstream removed sys-power/pm-utils support from 0.99 release (currently unkeyworded in tree), as in, from current git master. UPower upstream created 0.9 bit branch that has the old legacy upower with sys-power/pm-utils support available still with --enable-deprecated.

So, sys-power/upower will move on to 0.99 and is, thus, mostly usable only for sys-apps/systemd users, however, Xfce upstream in git master already moved the sys-power/pm-utils code that upower had over directly to the apps, like xfce4-session and xfce4-power-manager, and will, after next releases, still work without sys-apps/systemd even with 0.99 version.

and in another reply

So I expect upower to be more or less dead for everything but systemd users, except for those upstreams that will actually follow the Xfce path and do the duplication Yet, still, small portition of the code is still 'generic', so xfce4-power-manager will still need both, upower, even 0.99, and then pm-utils, depending on the version, codepath is selected

This was sort of expected, since pm-utils has been abandoned for ~5 years now at upstream, so nobody is maintaining non-systemd related power management tools anymore, and falling back to eg. manual laptop-mode-tools, acpid, etc. usage will be necessary again, it's like going back to 90s for non-systemd users

In short, more of systemd swallowing the entire userspace.

That said, even though I don't need it, thanks for splitting off the old version for those that do.

[asturm]

meh... things are getting increasingly 'interesting' again

[SamuliSuominen]

Someone really needs to adopt maintainership of pm-utils and possibly even UPower 0.9 git branch (the one that still has pm-utils support) at upstream level, or otherwise things will indeed get very intresting for non-systemd people (nobody can possibly expect
me to alone keep them intact from here on out forever, I have my hands full with udev alone)

i am currently using the resume from sys-power/suspend in my initramfs to get suspend-to-disk working. is there any replacement for this?

i am currently using the resume from sys-power/suspend in my initramfs to get suspend-to-disk working. is there any replacement for this?

sys-power/hibernate-script perhaps? I use hibernate-script for suspend/resume to ram.

NB: I can not say how good or bad hibernate-script is for suspend to disk. I never set up suspend-to-disk because of the requirement of initramfs in the in-kernel implementation, and because the only other implementation that does not require initramfs - tuxonice - is often not updated (although tuxonice-sources seems to be pretty much up to date at present).

ppurka, til, et al ... I have been using hibernate-script for some time, and it works flawlessly, so much so I wonder why anyone uses pm-utils (besides the fact the x,y,z pull it in as a dependency). I also use TuxOnIce (but not sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources ... I use the upstream patches) and have yet to have a suspend/resume fail.

sys-power/hibernate-script provides two scipts 'hibernate' and 'hibernate-ram' along with well commented configuration files, it's not at all difficult to setup, and has various privisions for blacklisting, unloading modules, and doing other tasks via the config files. With better-initramfs its simple to suspend/resume from an LVM swap within a LUKS container, I rarely reboot, suspend/resume only takes a few seconds (not including the time it takes to enter the passphrase for the LUKS container).

If you want further details just ask (perhaps start another thread though, so as not to divert this from the OP's subject).

Well, if you have a laptop with KDE and powerdevil, hibernate-script does nothing for you, you'll need pm-utils. At least for now.

[ppurka]

Hibernate script is completely desktop agnostic. So once it is set up, it will work from everywhere DE, only X (not logged in), console, etc. Ideally, you will need to hook it up to the lid events, etc through acpi events (/etc/acpi/{actions,events}).

I haven't used the KDE desktop for years but in e it is possible to bind the suspend and hibernate "buttons" to hibernate script. IIRC, there was even a bug in b.g.o. several years ago that provided a patch to pm-utils to fall back on hibernate-script if that was available.

[RazielFMX]

For KDE users (or any other user who has upower brought in by their choice of DE) who are not using sleep/hibernate, I found the easiest way to dodge this bullet was as follows:

Code: Select all

$ grep systemd /etc/portage/package.mask 
sys-apps/systemd

This of course generated warnings on my last world update. Based on the news item, I did the following:

Code: Select all

$ grep upower /etc/portage/package.keywords 
>=sys-power/upower-0.99.0 ~amd64

Then a simple 'emerge -auDN world' updated me to the systemd free upower.

I suspect you could disable the upower use flag:

Code: Select all

$ equery depends upower
 * These packages depend on upower:
kde-base/kdelibs-4.12.5 (upower ? >=sys-power/upower-0.9.23)

But I was not entirely comfortable doing that. If someone has done this or knows all the ramifications of this, please let me know!

0.99.0 no longer does Hibernate/Suspend, but if you don't care about those, then you did exactly correct thing.

I forgot to clarify; this was for a desktop workstation that does not sleep (I updated my post). Thanks!

Yamakuzure ... that's what I ment by "besides the fact that x,y,z pull it in as a dependency".

[lue]

I was a bit confused by the news post for a short while, but let me see if I've got this right:

• If you don't use systemd and you need hibernate/suspend, install sys-power/upower-pm-utils
• If you don't use systemd and you don't need hibernate/suspend, install >=sys-power/upower-0.99.0
• If you use systemd, you can safely ignore this news item (maybe update to the newest upower too?)

I'm still confused by the last line of the news item:

However, all systemd users are recommended to stay with sys-power/upower.

Isn't everybody who's using upower staying with upower in this situation? I think I'm just thrown off by the implication that non-systemd users aren't sticking with upower, but it's possible I'm missing something. Also, I noticed that while it's claimed that upower is leaving the suspend and hibernate options to systemd now, the systemd USE flag has been removed from 0.99.0 and up. While I would expect this to mean that use of systemd is now forced, a pretend emerge of the new upower (before adding it to accept_keywords, if that matters) didn't pull systemd as a dependency, so I'm not sure what that USE flag used to do, and why it's gone now.

Finally, I see the problem is specifically that upower doesn't support pm-utils anymore. Does that mean that systemd would handle pm-utils now (and if so, that might clear up some of the above confusions), or is pm-utils just dead code after an upgrade of upower?

Anyway, since I don't hibernate or suspend my computer, nor do I use systemd, I assume my course of action will be to upgrade to upower-0.99.0 whenever I want (unless there's something requiring me to choose as soon as possible).

I wonder if this change makes it worth considering a change to systemd. Looking into it, I'm at least a bit interested. I've also discovered I don't know what upower actually does for me. "UPower is an abstraction for enumerating power devices, listening to device events and querying history and statistics." isn't very helpful

EDIT: After seeing some of the general opinion on systemd and such around here, I want to make clear for those who'd suggest it to me that I don't want to install upower-pm-utils, because (as stated earlier in this post) I don't use the missing features, and additionally I'm not very enthusiastic about code that's already unmaintained before I even install it.

[golding]

OK, now I'm really confused!!

My system has been using systemd for some time now, but I'm getting dependency hell in my latest emerge updates.

i.e.

Code: Select all

one ~ # emerge -auvDN --with-bdeps y @world

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

I had neither of the upower packages installed before and was asked to put upower-0.99 into the keyword file. Did that and now it is asking for both to be installed and saying neither can be and also a news item saying I don't need them as I already have systemd anyway ..... hoo, that hurt!!

Could somebody PLEASE not have these new things going in untill all problems are resolved. I found the only way to fix these things is to wait about two weeks and then try updating again, meanwhile who knows.

edit: fixed spell mistake.

[trollo]

This is causing a conflict for stable Gnome users, unless I am doing something wrong;

I didn't update for a couple of weeks, and now emerge -puND world gives me this:

even though the news item recommends keeping upower for systemd users.
I suspect I would need upower-0.99.0-r1, but

Code: Select all

# emerge -pu upower

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

@golding: Increase backtracking as the output suggests; other than that, consider to mask either sys-power/upower or sys-power/upower-pm-utils depending on which you pick.

@trollo: Which conflict? You can remove -p and --pretend from the emerge parameters.

@trollo: Which conflict? You can remove -p and --pretend from the emerge parameters.

The news item recommends keeping upower and portage wants to uninstall it in favour of upower-pm-utils. That's confusing. I did not mean an actual (unsolvable) package conflict.

[TomWij]

Similar to golding, you can mask it to see whether that helps and/or why it is trying to pull that in; as for stable GNOME, make sure you use the gnome/systemd profile.

[trollo]

I'm using the gnome/systemd profile; masking sys-power/upower-pm-utils works, thanks.

I still think this either shouldn't be necessary or at least hinted at in the news item. I have a pretty standard stable gnome/systemd system, so I guess this confusion affects a bunch of people. upower-pm-utils gets pulled in only by packages that depend on it OR upower, I have no idea why portage favours the former, as the latter has both a more recent version number and date.

Are you saying that if a User is on "default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop" then it should be changed to "default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd", as an example?

thx!
