I think you’ll find it easier to use the ‘upower’ command, which does something equivalent: $(guix build upower)/bin/upower --dump Works for me on current GuixSD. > $ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit > /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager > org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop > > Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name > org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files That’s expected: we don’t use ConsoleKit (it’s deprecated.) > $ dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower > /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend > > Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Suspend" with > signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.UPower" doesn't exist > > Is this because dbus / polkit is currently misconfigured?
