Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.109-6
Severity: normal
The logic for method 'dbus-pm' in
/usr/share/acpi-support/suspendorhibernate looks a little screwy. It
runs the command
/usr/bin/dbus-send \
--session \
--dest=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement \
--type=method_call \
--print-reply \
--reply-timeout=2000 \
/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement \
org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Suspend
as root, which on my system results in the following error:
Failed to open connection to session message bus: Did not receive
a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not
send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
But apparently that's not the error message it was expecting; it's
grepping for " org.freedesktop.DBus.Error." (which is the error produced
when the command is run as myself rather than root). It erroneously
takes this branch:
# Not a DBUS error: other side does exist, and
# reports an error. That means we don't try
# anything else.
exit
The way I read the error message, there is no other side, and
suspendorhibernate should try the next method.
For now I've worked around the problem by removing dbus-pm from
SUSPEND_METHODS in /etc/default/acpi-support.
