hi, I'm setting up a multiseat system (jaunty, 64-bit). Pretty much everything is working fine, except that I would like to enable either user to initiate a hibernate or suspend command. I know this is counter-intuitive, but this is for a system in which it's convenient to always have the 2 users logged in, but it's very unlikely they'll be using the system at the same time. By default, the shutdown and restart options are not shown un the fast-user-switch-applet, and the suspend and hibernate are disabled, when more than one gdm server is running. I ran dbus-watch and got this on activating a suspend command: ---------------------- method call sender=:1.48 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=18 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=GetNameOwner string "org.freedesktop.PowerManagement" method call sender=:1.48 -> dest=:1.34 serial=19 path=/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement; interface=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement; member=Suspend method call sender=:1.34 -> dest=:1.70 serial=27 path=/org/gnome/ScreenSaver; interface=org.gnome.ScreenSaver; member=Lock method call sender=:1.34 -> dest=:1.70 serial=28 path=/org/gnome/ScreenSaver; interface=org.gnome.ScreenSaver; member=GetActive signal sender=:1.70 -> dest=(null destination) serial=13 path=/org/gnome/ScreenSaver; interface=org.gnome.ScreenSaver; member=SessionIdleChanged boolean true signal sender=:1.70 -> dest=(null destination) serial=14 path=/org/gnome/ScreenSaver; interface=org.gnome.ScreenSaver; member=ActiveChanged boolean true method return sender=:1.70 -> dest=:1.34 reply_serial=28 boolean true signal sender=:1.2 -> dest=(null destination) serial=74 path=/org/gnome/SessionManager/Presence; interface=org.gnome.SessionManager.Presence; member=StatusChanged
--------------------------- does any of this suggest a place where I might look to set up a system in which multiple gdm servers do NOT inhibit powermanagement? And is there a blueprint somewhere that lays out the suspend/hibernate architecture for jaunty? I know it's been changing fast. Thanks much for your help, Matt ps if there's a better list to send this to, please let me know, and sorry for the noise on this one. -- Matt Price matt.pr...@utoronto.ca -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
