[SOLVED] Cannot get to “sleep” or “hibernate” states succesfully with Slack 13.1
Hi,
For 2 computers I did a fresh install of 13.0 on blank drives when it came out; I use Xfce as KDE is always too bloated and slow. I am hopping on/off trains and I need a responsive system on my laptop. In 13.0 suspend from xfce worked as a dream.
Now I am completely lost after upgrading to 13.1: On both computers there is no connection happening with the messagebus via HAL when I try to ‘suspend’ or ‘quit’ from Xfce; that is as far as I understand the very, very belated error-message that comes up. The pm-suspend.log comes up with this as last line:
/usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video suspend suspend:/usr/lib64/pm-utils/functions: line 51: 2547 Terminated “$@”
which is in a function called ‘release_lock()’
By the way, the xfce error-message has an exit-button that has to be pressed in order to kill X. This is very bad interface design as it defies the ‘fail graciously’ principle. The exit should happen by itself…and provide the error-message in some log or when out of X. The feedback in this form can even be damaging, because, being already underway to catch a train before I found out at the station that no exit/suspend whatsoever had happened, my computer was seriously overheating, closed in its bag.
Another worrying thing: I can no longer jump out of X to a TTY screen using Ctrl+Alt+F2; also chvt command comes up with an error VT…something not found. It seems an X-problem as in fluxbox the same (although I can exit normally).
What is happening??…. Of course I missed something, but I cannot see what. All files in /etc/ are updated. Outdated packages removed. Everything has been reinstalled. I use the multilib version. Did not get any error messages anywhere suggesting some of the downloaded packages are corrupted (but maybe it is that..will start downloading the whole stuff again).. Or it must be that somewhere I need to copy over fdi files as for the synaptics touchpad…. but the above is too serious for not to be mentioned in the Upgrade.txt and Hints.
Has some new software (polkit? consolekit?) taken my control and trust away? Do I have to reinstall 13.0???
I have been using slackware since version 8, always upgraded along the way to 13.0 without problems as major as these. Any help much appreciated.
