Bug#799371: sddm prevents suspend/hibernate without authentication
Package: sddm
Version: 0.12.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
since switching from kdm to sddm, I get a "Authentication is required to
suspend the system" dialog whenever I close the lid of my laptop, press the
suspend button or execute suspend/hibernate from the KDE menu.
This prevents automatic suspend, which may lead to overheating when the laptop
is transported in a bag.
It seems this bug is similar in nature to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727645 - loginctl reports the following:
$ loginctl
SESSION UID USER SEAT
2 1000 kdeuser seat0
1 130 sddm seat0
There is a known workaround: https://lists.debian.org/debian-
user/2014/10/msg01699.html (search for org.freedesktop.upower.pkla)
However, I think it would be better to fix this on the sddm side.
This is with sysvinit-core.
