This problem is triggered by light-locker which locks the user session (VT7) and forwards the user to the unlock screen (VT8). Please read the official blog entry [1] to learn more about how screen locking works.
The result of this functionality is that the user session becomes inactive while the screen is locked. Therefore, the power manager is not authorized to perform certain actions anymore. Possible solution are: - enable late locking (it delays the VT switch, enable it via Light Locker Settings > Automatically lock the session when the screensaver is deactivated) - disable automatic locking completely - change the according upower policy (comment #14) [1] http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ ** Also affects: light-locker (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: light-locker-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid ** Changed in: light-locker (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion ** Changed in: light-locker-settings (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1319598 Title: Power manager no longer suspends 'power manager not authorised' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1319598/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
