Please see this thread https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/490... ---------------------- Or the content is: I upgraded to day to KDE 4.11.1 from KDE 4.11.0. Also, Kernel 3.11 was installed. After the upgrade, I receive the following error at the top of my screen after login: Code: KDE Power Management System could not be initialized. The backend reported the following error: No valid Power Management backend plugins are available. A new installation might solve this problem. Please check your system configuration. So I went to System Settings>>Power Management and the pane on the right is greyed out and there is a message: Code: Power Management configuration module could not be loaded. The Power Management Service appears not to be running. This can be solved by starting or scheduling it inside "Startup and Shutdown" Added: So I go to System Settings>>Startup and Shutdown>>Service Manager and it states that the service is running. SO I stop and start the service and I receive the original message. I also booted in the 3.10.25 kernel and the problem persists. I created a new user and logged into KDE and the problem persists. I ran ps -ef | grep upower and here is the output: Code: root 1247 1 0 10:14 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd I ran /user/lib/upower/upowerd since it is runable by a normal user. I received the followingoutput: Code: (upowerd:3843): UPower-WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.freedesktop.UPower: Connection ":1.122" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.UPower" due to security policies in the configuration file (upowerd:3843): UPower-WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
