I suppose you need to set org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate to auth_admin. That should be desktop neutral.
Setting auth_admin value when? This means, root, authentication is required before the action, right? Shouldn't it be default behavior?
The default is to allow the user on the active console to hibernate, suspend and shutdown. Users not on the active console or remote logins have to authenticate as root (auth_admin:auth_admin:yes).
And what should YaST offer as alternatives?
Sensible choices are probably auth_admin:auth_admin:auth_admin (=> require authentication always) yes:yes:yes (=> allow anyone to perform the action) auth_admin:auth_admin:yes (=> user on the acive console is allowed)
Shouldn't it be similar/same as DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN handling, as mentioned in the report? And I do not mean only 'similar/same' in YaST, but also in system: should we have sysconfig value for one action (shutdown) and handle polkit permission for another one?
The sysconfig value only exists for legacy reasons. It should be removed and only polkit actions be used IMO. That requires kdm to support polkit though. Alternatively don't allow to configure individual polkit settings at all but only allow to switch the profile (standard vs restrictive). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
