[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#608301: Reported upstream

[Martin Steigerwald]

Hi!

Reported upstream as:

no access to sleep/wake D-Bus interface if root session active
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648836


I use XML comments to deactivate the three deny rules in policy 
"at_console" for now, as I find it highly irritating that a dbus send 
called from root, whether from a full session that acpi seems to use to 
call my custom hibernate script or not, fails.

I might reconsider pm-utils in the future but last time I tried it it was 
just too error prone for my system and I didn't want to spend the time to 
report the issues I had about it - and then probably wait long till they 
get fixed. For example rejecting a hibernation cause an *unrelated, 
currently unused* kernel was upgraded IMHO is just far off what I would 
expect to be reasonable. As with some other solutions - IMHO Network 
Manager as well - I find it overengineered and too complex to be reliable 
in all contexts.

Ciao,
