Created attachment 386842 [details] emerge --info Hi, I'm using XFCE 4.10. My system is laptop Lenovo Thinkpad x230t. Click XFCE menu-> Log Out. Log Out dialog have the following buttons to be gray (inactive): restart, suspend, shutdown, hibernate. Only one is active - 'Log out'.
I followed instructions instructions from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469190 and got several buttons to work: Shutdown, Restart. But Hibernate and Suspend are gone away at all. And the second issue appeared - now xfce4-power-manager doesn't start. That means that when I go to XFCE4 settings and start Power Manager it opens a dialog saying "Xfce4 Power Manager is not running, do you want to launch it now?" I hit 'Run' button. After that Power Manager settings do not open anyway. So investigated it a bit. I found out that I have a running process 'xfce4-power-manager'. But when I start $ xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon I get the following output: ** (xfce4-power-manager:4647): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name_owner: assertion 'connection != NULL' failed ** (xfce4-power-manager:4647): CRITICAL **: Unable to create proxy on /org/freedesktop/DBus ** (xfce4-power-manager:4647): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_connection_get_connection: assertion 'gconnection' failed So to summarize, I have the main issue partially resolved, but not completely, and I got a new issue that must be fixed. Thank you in advance for your help.
I got the previus state back. That means I have all buttons in 'Log Out' dialog but all are inactive (grey). Also Power Manager is started ok. I don't what happended. I did some emerges but not related to XFCE. $ eix xfce4-power-manager [I] xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager Available versions: 1.3.0 ~1.4.0 ~1.4.1 {debug lxpanel networkmanager policykit systemd +udisks KERNEL="linux" XFCE_PLUGINS="+battery +brightness +power"} Installed versions: 1.3.0(11:52:02 PM 10/17/2014)(policykit udisks -debug -networkmanager -systemd KERNEL="linux" XFCE_PLUGINS="battery brightness") $ eix xfce4-session [I] xfce-base/xfce4-session Available versions: 4.10.1-r2 ~4.11.0-r2 {debug nls systemd upower +xscreensaver} Installed versions: 4.10.1-r2(08:33:12 AM 10/19/2014)(nls systemd upower xscreensaver -debug) $ ps aux | grep systemd root 1730 0.0 0.0 38956 2156 ?

Sl 17:18 0:00 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon From the above output you can see that XFCE4-Session is built witj Systemd. But XFCE4-Power-Manager is built without Systemd support, but with policy kit. It looks like Power Manager does not relate to a 'Logout Dialog', but in power manager settings there are missing suspend and hibernate actions at all. There is only 'Ask' action for different user actions like 'When sleep button is pressed'. Let me note that I'd like to stay away from Systemd but is it possible when using XFCE4? Do they tie this DE to Systemd like Gnome? Thanks a lot.
just some facts: 1. >=sys-power/upower-0.99 doesn't support hibernate or suspend 2. Xfce 4.10 doesn't support hibernate or suspend without systemd OR sys-power/upower-pm-utils 3. Xfce 4.11+ from ~arch along with xfce4-power-manager from ~arch supports hibernate and suspend even with >=sys-power/upower-0.99 because it supports direct calls to pm-utils, skipping upower relationship so, question is, what upower are you using? and why in the world would you have USE=systemd enabled in one package, but not in another? you have to choose, disable in both, or enable in both, and if enabled, you have to also *boot* it
yep, USE=systemd disables ConsoleKit support, so this bug looks bogus
Thanks a lot for the tips. I've completely masked systemd and rebuilt @world. Currently I have XFCE "Log Out" dialog with 3 active buttons: Log Out, Restart, Shut Down. So I have ConsoleKit installed, eudev installed. Not NO systemd daemon is running. Porblems: XFCE Power manager doesn't start Log Out dialog still misses 2 buttons: Hibernate and Suspend. $ eix xfce4-session [I] xfce-base/xfce4-session Available versions: 4.10.1-r2 ~4.11.0-r2 {debug nls systemd upower +xscreensaver} Installed versions: 4.10.1-r2(05:10:34 AM 10/21/2014)(nls upower xscreensaver -debug -systemd) $ eix xfce4-power-manager [I] xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager Available versions: 1.3.0 ~1.4.0 ~1.4.1 {debug lxpanel networkmanager policykit systemd +udisks KERNEL="linux" XFCE_PLUGINS="+battery +brightness +power"} Installed versions: 1.3.0(05:09:56 AM 10/21/2014)(policykit udisks -debug -networkmanager -systemd KERNEL="linux" XFCE_PLUGINS="battery brightness") $ cat ~/.xinitrc exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startxfce4 $ xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon ** (xfce4-power-manager:3795): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name_owner: assertion 'connection != NULL' failed ** (xfce4-power-manager:3795): CRITICAL **: Unable to create proxy on /org/freedesktop/DBus ** (xfce4-power-manager:3795): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_connection_get_connection: assertion 'gconnection' failed Segmentation fault Thanks for help.
(In reply to Oleksiy from comment #5) > $ cat ~/.xinitrc > exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startxfce4 This is bogus, it will not work for launching Xfce correctly because startxfce4 embeds these itself. You should be using: $ cat ~/.xinitrc exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
And add this line to /etc/portage/package.keywords (or package.accept_keywords if you prefer the new filename): <xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-9999 And: # emerge -av ">=xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.4.1" And add the Power Manager to the panel. Does above ^^ and fixing the .xinitrc fix your problems?
Ok I did all by instruction. Additionally I started some services. Now I have Power Manager able to start. Still remain the problem that Power Manager remains unusefull for my high-end laptop. I can't set up to suspend when laptop lid is closed, for example. Different options, like pentioned previously, contain actions like 'Ask', 'Do nothing', 'Lock Screen', 'Switch Off display'. But there should be also 'Suspend', 'Hibernate', 'Shutdown' and so on. So the problem is partially fixed but still remains. $ eix xfce4-power-manager [I] xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager Available versions: 1.3.0 (~)1.4.0 (~)1.4.1 {debug lxpanel networkmanager policykit systemd +udisks KERNEL="linux" XFCE_PLUGINS="+battery +brightness +power"} Installed versions: 1.4.1(09:13:55 AM 10/21/2014)(policykit -debug -lxpanel -networkmanager -systemd KERNEL="linux" XFCE_PLUGINS="power") # rc-update show acpid | default bluetooth | default bootmisc | boot consolefont | default consolekit | default cronie | default cupsd | default dbus | default devfs | sysinit dhcpcd | default dmesg | sysinit fsck | boot gpm | default hostname | boot hwclock | boot keymaps | boot killprocs | shutdown kmod-static-nodes | sysinit laptop_mode | default lm_sensors | default local | default localmount | boot loopback | boot modules | boot mount-ro | shutdown mtab | boot netmount | default procfs | boot root | boot savecache | shutdown sshd | default swap | boot swapfiles | boot sysctl | boot sysfs | sysinit syslog-ng | default termencoding | boot thinkfan | default tmpfiles.dev | sysinit tmpfiles.setup | boot udev | sysinit udev-mount | sysinit urandom | boot wicd | default $ cat ~/.xinitrc exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch $ ps aux | grep power alex 4486 0.0 0.0 243176 7128 ?

This is a problem with your setup. If you haven't done so yet, please take it to the forums or to irc to get interactive help from people who know how to set it up. Do not hesitate to reopen this bug in case you can demonstrate there is a problem with an ebuild.
