Bug#787006: xbmc: No suspend/hibernate option available

[monnier at IRO.UMontreal.CA]

Package: xbmc
Version: 2:13.2+dfsg1-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I installed "xbmc" on Debian stable, then did "adduser xbmc", then added
this user to some groups (cdrom, audio, video, plugdev, powerdev).
It mostly works OK, but I can't get XBMC to suspend the machine.

When I click on the "power" button in the lower left corner, I'm only
offered to "Exit", whereas I expected other options like Suspend/Hibernate.
Also in the "Settings => System => Power Saving", the "Shutdown function"
only offers 2 options that are weirdly named: "?0?" and "?-1?".

I originally tried it with systemd/logind and upower installed, and based on
some suggestions found on the net I also tried to uninstall "upower"
but the result was the same.

The ~xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log file contains the following apparently related
information which did not give me enough hints as to what's going on:

09:53:53 T:2989520768    INFO: Selected Logind/UPower as PowerSyscall
09:53:53 T:2989520768   ERROR: DBus: Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.freedesktop.UPower was not provided by any .service files
09:53:53 T:2989520768    INFO: LogindUPowerSyscall - UPower not found, battery information will not be available
09:53:53 T:2989520768   DEBUG: LogindUPowerSyscall - inhibit lock taken, fd 10
13:53:55 T:2989520768   DEBUG: LogindUPowerSyscall - Received unknown signal NameAcquired

This is with "upower" uninstalled.  When it is installed the result is
the same except that the ERROR line is absent.
