Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

Hi!

A few hours ago, I updated my Gnome Shell to 3.6. It was a big update:

[2012-10-31 08:01] installed opencv (2.4.2-5)
[2012-10-31 08:01] installed frei0r-plugins (1.3-4)

Unfortunately, it broke multiple things: (edited 31.10.12 18:47)

1. I can't suspend or hibernate after boot unless I logout and login again; I get a polkit prompt for my password, but it doesn't work; I also can't "unlock" any gnome settings (the "unlock" button is greyed out) unless I re-login, so this probably has sth to do with polkit. I tried chmod 755 on /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ to no avail.
2. Gnome no longer recognises the lid close event. I had to temporarily work around this by using logind (systemd).
3. Rhythmbox doesn't play any music files; if I try to open its preferences, it segfaults.

Has anyone got similar issues? Any ideas?

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

The frontpage mentions that consolekit was replaced by logind. Probably you should look in that direction.

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

Hm, /etc/systemd/logind.conf hasn't been changed; it also worked prior to this particular update. Do you know where else to look?

The frontpage mentions that consolekit was replaced by logind. Probably you should look in that direction.

Care to be a bit more specific?

Where should one go for more info?

Edit: I don't need a link to www.archlinux.org about the announcement, I'd like help / troubleshooting information.

@pezz, can you suspend? Can you unlock gnome settings centre for root actions?

If Network settings are anything to go by, nope. All greyed out.

Still searching for info, very difficult to diagonose, and who knows - my setup might be just broken (but, then again, it worked before going to 3.6 and removing myself from a bunch of groups).

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

Could you go to "User Accounts" and try to add a user?
I can't because it's locked, but I can't unlock it as long as I don't logout and re-login. I think this could also be the reason for our problems connected to UPower which relies on the same authentication mechanism (but potentially transparently, without asking for password).

Are you actually booting with systemd?

All pacnew files in /etc/pam.d merged?

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

So am I.

Does anyone know which packet is responsible for unlocking e. g. the settings centre? Is it polkit or pam? There's definitely something wrong about it in this constellation...

EDIT:
@Allan: yes.

EDIT2:
loginctl actually does print my sessions correctly.

No pacnew / save files for pam for me.

I tried messing around with pam.d files (adding pam_systemd.so in various places) in order to try and get it going, no good.

All back to stock now though, same problems.

I get my "seat" listed properly and all that, but:

Active=no

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

Well, I get

Active=yes

Which probably means that this is not the core of our auth issues...

However, I'm also able to play audio, it's just rhythmbox that doesn't work.

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

Same problem for me this morning :
- can't unlock any gnome settings
- when i want to suspend , hibernate or stop, i get a polkit prompt and gnome freeze

loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID | grep Active      
 Active=no

You just have to disable gdm-plymouth :

sudo systemctl disable gdm-plymouth.service

and enable gdm :

sudo systemctl enable gdm.service

reboot


after :

loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID | grep Active      
 Active=yes

@Pi3R1k: Do you happen to experience any of the problems we mentioned (suspend, reboot, unlocking settings, rhythmbox)?

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

I've just updated my first post to reflect my latest observations:
- hibernation actually works (using the dbus command or a hotkey), but suffers from the same (polkit?) problem as suspend-to-ram;
- Gnome no longer recognises the lid close event -- I had to temporarily work around this by using logind (systemd).

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

@trsk: How did you work around the lid close issue? I am able to suspend using the suspend hard key or

systemctl suspend

but my machine no longer suspends on lid close events since I updated to Gnome 3.6 this morning. I disabled the acpid.service in systemd and altered the logind.conf file as directed in the wiki:

HandlePowerKey=ignore 
HandleSuspendKey=ignore 
HandleHibernateKey=ignore   
HandleLidSwitch=ignore 

I believe that my gnome settings are correct:

>> gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action
'suspend'
>> gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action
'suspend' 

I have rebooted and still don't suspend on lid close. Any ideas?

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

@breecummins: Gnome 3.6 (in contrast to 3.4) correctly issues systemd inhibits, so you no longer need to ignore the power events in logind.conf (just return to the defaults). You can view the inhibits with:

systemd-inhibit --list

My Gnome does not, for some reason, handle the lid close event, but it doesn't inhibit systemd from doing it, either. Therefore, if you restore logind.conf to its defaults, the system should get suspended on the lid event (by systemd) regardless of the Gnome setting.

Do you experience the other two issues I mentioned above (polkit, rhythmbox)?

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

@trsk: Thank you, restoring system defaults to logind.conf worked. I am now confused why suspend on lid close didn't work right after the update, but I'm unable to reproduce the error by re-enabling acpid.service. *shrugs*

I don't use rhythmbox and I am not experiencing your polkit errors. I don't have to logout/in for suspend or hibernate and I am able to unlock User Accounts in gnome settings.

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

Thank you for your feedback, that's very interesting... When did you migrate to systemd?

EDIT: Which kernel are you using? I've sticked with 3.5.6-1 because of serious power regressions ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1176627 ).

Re: Update to Gnome 3.6: can't suspend, polkit authentication problems etc

I only migrated to systemd last week, and I have the newest kernel, 3.6.4-1. I got the kernel update along with gnome 3.6 this morning. I do not have the power regression issues mentioned in the link you posted, but I'm also on an AMD chip, not Intel Sandy Bridge.
