You may try running /sbin/set_polkit_default_privs as root. Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I'm seeing this as well, on resuming from standby especially. Reported as bnc#688267 [1], add your experiences. I've posted temporary workaround instructions in the bug info.

This is a bug. You must insert in /etc/polkit-default-privs.local this: org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.brightness yes:yes:yes org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.setbrightness yes:yes:yes And then run: /sbin/set_polkit_default_privs eRiC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

That's the expected output, /sbin/set_polkit_default_privs is saying the *previous* setting is wrong, and it has changed it. Nothing to worry about, except that this is still a workaround, we should keep trying to get the fundamental bug fixed.
