Hibernation: Lock screen after resuming

schallstrom · 2007-09-01 17:43:32

Hi,

I managed to get hibernation running with the help of the Howto in the Arch wiki, but when resuming I don't have to type in any password, so my system is completely unprotected when hibernating.

What would I have to do that the gnome-screensaver gets activated after resuming from hibernation?

Thanks for any hints.

Are you using the suspend2 kernel?
I don't know if my hint helps, but you can lock your screen in /etc/hibernate/common.conf
There you can specify what method you want to use....

If you're using gnome the option to lock screen after resume can be set in gnome-power-manager via gconf-editor.

Actually currently I have to hibernate my computer by executing the 'hibernate' command, but I would like to do it through gnome-power-manager but it doesn't work.

I found the following in /var/log/user.log.

Sep  2 17:58:30 mir gnome-power-manager: (mo) Hibernating computer because user clicked hibernate from tray menu
Sep  2 17:58:31 mir gnome-power-manager: (mo) A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement" member "Hibernate" error name "(unset)" destination ":1.9") code='9' quark='dbus-glib-error-quark'
Sep  2 17:58:31 mir gnome-power-manager: (mo) Resuming computer
Sep  2 17:58:31 mir gnome-power-manager: (mo) hibernate failed

What can I do?

is your user in all the necessary groups? like "hal" "dbus" "power", I'm not sure what hal is checking, but it does look like a permission problem of some kind.

Users should not be member of hal and dbus groups. The "power" group is for suspend/hibernate though.

I didn't know that - any particular reason for that (just curious)?

I added my user to the power group but got the same error in user.log. Then I added my user to power, dbus and hal group: still the same error.

I don't know about dbus but I thought you HAD to be in hal for gnome/nautilus based automounting for USB sticks to work.

ruscook, that has never been the case for me... I add my users to the following groups only:
* audio
* network
* optical
* power
* storage

That allows for automount of all devices, including USB sticks, external hard drives, and CD/DVDs.

PS: I should have mentioned that my results are successful whether I'm running KDE, GNOME, or even Openbox.

ruscook: after reading JGCs comment I've removed my user from hal and dbus groups (my user is in all the groups thayer.w listed above though) and all works as it should. I don't know where I've read about adding user to hal and dbus groups, but I guess that information was not accurate.
