Make sure you built kdm and hal with consolekit. Also check if you enabled policykit for consolekit and hal and that you have policykit-kde installed.

Also check if you enabled policykit for consolekit and hal and that > you have policykit-kde installed. -) I rebooted with consolekit now in the default runlevel. This does not change anything. -) I have the consolekit use flag enabled in /etc/make.conf. -) I do not use kdm, but startx with /usr/bin/startkde script. -) hal and consolekit have the policykit useflag set, policykit-kde is installed. -) As it worked fine before, did consolekit/policykit change from kde-4.3.1 to 4.3.3 ? -) kde-4.3.3 went stable the same day like some new X packages (xorg-server-1.6.5-r1 and deps). Could any of these cause this?
Bug #281042 seems to discuss the consolekit issue. I am not sure whether it is the source of the suspend problem.
Ok, after some tideous investigation I solved this one. It is a policy issue. My user is not allowed to suspend the computer. This can be changed by root if he starts up the kde system settings and then under "Advanced->PolicyKit Authorization" identifies the correct entries under org.freedesktop and sets them to an appropriate value. For instance org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.suspend should have the implicit authorization "anyone -> Yes" to make powerdevil work again. I have no idea what triggered this change in my systems configuration. Now, it seems like a configuration issue, where the package maintainer of these rules should decide upon standard values, like whether users are allows to suspend the system. Is it still a bug? If yes, against which package?
(In reply to comment #5) > Bug #281042 seems to discuss the consolekit issue. I am not sure whether it is > the source of the suspend problem. And i forgot to mention. It seems unrelated to the above problem which still persists.
It is a consolkit problem. I had the same problem with consolekit-0.4.1. Changed back to consolekit-0.3.0-r2 and kde and powedevil works for suspend. Maybe the ebuild for powerdevil should be changed to request consolekit-0.3.0-r2.
BTW: Problem persists with powerdevil-4.3.4
I do have powerdevil-4.3.4 installed, and with consolekit-0.3.0-r2 suspend works for me.
Please note that by comment 6, I can also suspend after changing some policies.
Sorry. I should read the comments better. :-) Putting back consolekit-0.4.1 and (Make sure that the configuration file is updated.) and doing comment #6 (except that I gave explicit permition to my user, powerdevil-4.3.4 works fine for me.
Something happend. It might be hal related. It stopped working after updates with consolekit-0.4.1. I had to go back to consolekit-0.3.0-r2. It works now.
-) I can't reproduce any failure here -) Initial problem was a configuration problem during migration If you're having trouble with consolekit please open a new bug or comment on the existing ones. Closing. Thanks.
