 |
|
Got a new laptop, can't enable power management (see title)
I'm one of those emerge kdebase-startkde types. I've solved this problem before but can't recall how. I think I'm just missing a package, can't think what it is.
Any help much appreciated.

Do you have kde-base/powerdevil installed? Also I needed to install sys-power/upower-pm-utils for suspend/hibernate to show up in the menu

I have both installed.The problem is I can't start the service because the menu isn't there. All I have under "startup and shutdown" are autostart and session management. |

Sorry I misunderstood your question. I thought that you meant you had no power managment menu in your kde system settings. If I understand you correctly you're saying that the service manager tab in the "startup and shutdown" menu is missing?
Do you have dbus running?
edit: also when I switched to KDE I found that I needed to add my user to the polkitd group for some options to be visible |

That's it exactly.
Yes dbus is running. |

Could it be the componentchooser module, part of kde-apps/kcontrol?
| Code: | $ kcmshell4 --list | grep service
componentchooser - Choose the default components for various services
kcm_kdnssd - Configure service discovery
kcmdolphinservices - Configure file manager services |

| I've installed KDE on a few systems and never needed any special options.That menu has always been there for me although I do use I use kde-apps/kdebase-meta to pull in the packages. My last idea would be a missing use flag. Can I ask which system profile you have selected? |

| @markisthejob: The problem comes from using kde-base/kdebase-startkde which is missing a lot of dependencies compared to your kdebase-meta setup. No system profile or USE flag is going to fix that, but taking a look at the dependencies of kdebase-meta might help. |
