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) ... This looks for me like dbus permission problem. You can see /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf if you have permission to action which is shown in error message. JR
Thanks for the answer. I took a look at this file and the versions of /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf on a 11.1 system with the problem and another system that works just fine are identically. I wouls also expect to find the action in this file that is returned as permission denied: org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.hibernate But this action is not contained in this file. I found out that on the system where everything is fine the command polkit-auth lists a lot of actios one of them is org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.hibernate. On the system where it does not work a call to polkit-auth does not return a single line. The problem is I do not yet see the difference betwenn the two system. Any idea where these policies could be defined if not in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf ?
