[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#717731: confirm auth on hybernation still happens with current systemd packages

[Martin Steigerwald]

Hello!

This still happens with systemd 208-1 from experimental and systemd 204-10.

On selecting hibernation in KDE SC 4.12.3 Kickoff menu it locks the screen first 
and then opens a dialog asking me for confirmation for hibernation.

With my user hat on I just don´t care whose fault it is, it is a clear 
regression when I use systemd over init. And as thus please consider to fix it 
for good. I certainly won´t put up with this insane behaviour – so there is no 
chance that systemd will be my default until this is fixed. There is just *one* 
seat in my laptop and my workstation. Anything else is a bug.



As I wrote before tried to apply the work-around Michael proposed in:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=717554#32

As in:

merkaba:~> cat /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-
local.d/org.freedesktop.upower.pkla
[Suspend/hibernate permissions]
Identity=unix-group:sudo
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate;org.freedesktop.upower.suspend
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

with my users in sudo group and still get the annoying error.


So if you want me, and I suppose other KDEusers  – or users of any other 
desktop environment that appears as more as one seat to systemd – to test 
drive systemd and reporting bugs, please consider fixing that bug for good or 
at least provide a work-around for now that works.

I am really surprised that this IMHO release-critical bug – which sane person 
would put up with such a behavior? – has not been fixed *before* systemd is 
made default in unstable.

Ciao,
