Hello,
I recently installed a new 11.1 system using autoyast which basically worked fine. However working with KDE i noticed a strange problem when trying to supend the machine to disk.
Eg if I type (not beeing root) suspend -U in a KDE-terminal window I get the message:
Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.hibernate no <-- (action, result)
Hello, in between I found the problem, which was caused by wrong ownership of directories like /var/cache/hald and similar. The belonged eg to a user called icecream (id 106). This wrong ownership again was caused by double entries in /etc/passwd with different usenames but identical uids. The user haldaemon also had uid 106. And finally these double uids were caused by my autoyast file that contained some group entries from the time the autoyast file had been created by cloning a running system which contained already a user with uid 106. Removing all group entries from the autoyast file fixed the whole problem.
