Hello. After upgrade to xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.2.0_p20140511 I cannot access suspend and hibernate actions. After downgrade to 1.2.0-r2 everything is back to normal. Nothing else was up/downgraded together with xfce4-power-manager. I have sys-power/upower-0.9.23 installed and no systemd stuff. After quick git log analysis I found this commit: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/commit/?id=ae97be6f3500eea509d61c914e22c5355e7d57de It says that "suspend / hibernate is handled by systemd/logind". However, there are still code paths for polkit, when running on <upower-0.99, but in my case this doesn't work for some reason. I have polkit installed and it works fine with 1.2.0-r2. Not sure if this upstream issue or some problem on my side, so I post bug here first. If you, devs, think it is upstream issue I'll open bug there as well. Reproducible: Always
What about `xfce4-power-manager --dump` output if you run it from terminal? Does it say... Can suspend: True Can hibernate: True Authorized to suspend: True Authorized to hibernate: True Or what? Add 'sys-power/upower **' to /etc/portage/package.keywords and upgrade to =sys-power/upower-0.99, recompile xfce4-power-manager Does that make the problem go away, or are the hibernate/suspend still unavailable? And yes, I think you should most definately report this to upstream, but you need more debug information for that, let's start with testing with 0.99 and checking --dump output

Looks like upstream purposely killed suspend/hibernate support for UPower that is build with --enable-deprecated (== with pm-utils support, without systemd) As in, looks like upstream is purposely forcing systemd now for these actions, which isn't really suprising as the package is maintained by Xubuntu developers and Xubuntu went to systemd. Please, open a bug at http://bugzilla.xfce.org/ and tell them how retarded this is ;-)

xfce4-power-manager from git currently doesn't support suspend/hibernate with upower .99. This will get fixed before a release of xfpm, https://wiki.xfce.org/design/power-manager?&#open_issues details some of the other proposed changes. It's just a matter of getting time to write the functionality back in and test it, but I'll make this a higher priority, sorry for any inconvenience.

This is the same way xfce4-session does shutdown/reboot, the code was adapted from it.
