[Bug 1514067] Re: Update to 0.17 disables hibernate for ordinary user

 

What ubuntu version and desktop environment do you use?

Are you sure it's new to this version, hibernate is disabled on purpose
for longer than that

policykit-desktop-privileges (0.8) precise; urgency=low

  * Disable hibernation by default. (LP: #812394)

Title:
  Update to 0.17 disables hibernate for ordinary user

Status in policykit-desktop-privileges package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After updating to 0.17 I receive

  "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Operation not
  supported"

  when trying to hibernate from the desktop UI. Instead, the screensaver
  is launched.

  I have mitigated this by following a procedure
  https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other/enabling-suspend-on-linux-
  lite/ to add site-local rules which override the
  /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla
  file. This file /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu
  .enable-hibernate.pkla contains:

  [Re-enable hibernate by default in upower]
  Identity=unix-user:*
  Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
  ResultActive=yes

  [Re-enable hibernate by default in logind]
  Identity=unix-user:*
  Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate
  ResultActive=yes

  Disabling part of the UI doesn't seem the right thing.
