Wheezy netinstall suspend on laptop lid close

Hello folks.

I have a Wheezy netinstall with openbox, and have this issue I hope someone can help me with:

This works:
+ boot to tty, log in (no Window Manager is running)
+ close the laptop lid, the machine suspends OK

Does not work:
+ run startx (openbox)
+ close the laptop lid, suspend does not trigger

Weird, huh?

When I open the lid again I get the notification: "power manager, not authorized".

I then:

+ Enabled verbose debug messages for pm-utils [1] and no errors are logged to /var/log/pm-suspend.log, darn.
+ Checked that I don't have HAL installed, as it interferes with pm-utils (per same the link [1]).

The post [2] indicates that authorization is handled via consolekit and session manager, but the "exec ck-launch-session" line answer in that post did not help.

When I run "exec ck-launch-session openbox-session" it drops me back to a login prompt (openbox-session reports that the $DISPLAY environment variable is unset even though it is)

~$ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0

Stumped!

The only way I can suspend at the moment is with "sudo pm-suspend", and that gets tedious quickly. I could add myself to sudoers without password for pm-suspend, but I would prefer to get this working how it is intended (TM). Any ideas?

Signed, perplexed monkey

Until someone jumps in who knows what they are talking about .... is this something that needs a policykit1 rule on your system?

Re: Wheezy netinstall suspend on laptop lid close

No laptop just a desktop here - so this is a shot in the dark.  Scroll down to OB Login

OR:

What does: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy have to say.  It should say: <allow_active>yes</allow_active>

  <action id="org.freedesktop.upower.suspend">
    <description>Suspend the system</description>
    <description xml:lang="fr">Mettre le système en veille</description>
    <description xml:lang="it">Sospende il sistema</description>
    <description xml:lang="pl">Wstrzymanie systemu</description>
    <description xml:lang="sv">Försätt systemet i vänteläge</description>
    <message>Authentication is required to suspend the system</message>
    <message xml:lang="fr">Vous devez vous identifier pour mettre le système en veille</message>
    <message xml:lang="it">È richiesto autenticarsi per sospendere il sistema</message>
    <message xml:lang="pl">Wymagane jest uwierzytelnienie, aby wstrzymać system</message>
    <message xml:lang="sv">Autentisering krävs för att försätta systemet i vänteläge</message>
    <defaults>
      <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
      <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
    </defaults>
  </action>

Re: Wheezy netinstall suspend on laptop lid close

You could be missing a package. Try this in terminal:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install policykit-1

When installed, reboot to make sure it takes effect.
