Getting E17's hibernation to work...

Hey,

I just installed E17 and can't seem to get its hibernation button to work. (suspend works OK!)

First of all, hibernation works perfectly through command line with:

sudo pm-hibernate

and

sudo /usr/bin/systemctl hibernate

my /etc/sudoers

%users  ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate
%users  ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

%users  ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl suspend
%users  ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl hibernate

my /etc/enlightenment/sysactions.conf

action:   halt      /usr/bin/systemctl poweroff
action:   reboot    /usr/bin/systemctl reboot
action:   suspend   /usr/bin/systemctl suspend
action:   hibernate sudo /usr/bin/systemctl hibernate
action:   /bin/mount /bin/mount
action:   /bin/umount /bin/umount
action:   /usr/bin/eject /usr/bin/eject
action:   gdb       gdb

# root is allowed to do anything - but it needs to be here explicitly anyway
user:     root      allow: *
# members of operator, staff and admin groups should be able to do all
group:    operator  allow: *
group:    staff     allow: *
group:    admin     allow: *

group:    adm       allow: *
# common "user" groups for "console users" on desktops/laptops
group:    dialout   allow: *

group:    audio     allow: *
group:    dip       allow: *
group:    plugdev   allow: *
group:    netdev    allow: *
group:    bluetooth allow: *
group:    video     allow: *
group:    voice     allow: *
group:    fax       allow: *
group:    tty       allow: *

# deny everyone else by default
user:     *         deny:  *

Thanks!

I have no idea bout Enlightenment in general, but I can tell you that the sudo/sudoers should not be necessary if the X session is properly activated and tracked with logind.  There should be the ability to suspend, hibernate, poweroff, and reboot as a normal user, provided that there are no other users logged into another session or seat.

sudo is not necessary, you either add your user to one of the groups listed or add your user to /etc/enlightenment/sysactions.conf

Re: Getting E17's hibernation to work...

I'm on Debian and discovered E17 two weeks ago. I had the same problem saz mentioned and found no clue anywhere on the Internet. At last, I found out that it's a bug in the default Compositor of E17. I switched to Ecomorph and the hibernation button worked It should also work with all compositors disabled.

As this page is among the first ones that come up when a solution to this problem is searched, I preferred to post a reply here.

Just in case: we are on E18 now and noone cares about E17 anymore.

So, there shouldn't be such a problem in E18. I'll compile E18. Thanks!

TBH i haven't hibernated or suspended my system in quite some time. In the case it doesn't work file a bug at the E bugzilla.
