Check if your user is member of the group "powerdev" Or more generally: Daemons with D-Bus interfaces on the D-Bus system bus can restrict who can call which of those functions. To tell the D-Bus daemon about this restrictions, they install a policy file in /etc/dbus-1/system.d In the example of powersave daemon, there is a file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/powersave.conf At the end it details what "desktop users" are allowed to do and it specifies that those users have to be in the group "powerdev" Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
