 |
|
How do I disable the "Suspend" and "Hibernate"-buttons which shows up in xfce-4.6 when you press Log out? Can't find any options for it, and my system doesn't have any suspend or hibernate-function configured.
How do you configure Hibernate and Suspend-actions in xfce anyway? |

no, it's only front-end for hibernate-ram & hibernate commands |

Ok, then that's figured out.
I still hope there's a way to disable those two buttons at logout, though... |

Hi,
In order to configure Hibernate and Suspend-actions you must install xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager.

I've a question about notification-deamon-xfce.
EDIT : Sorry, I erased the question, I thought I was in the discussion of XFCE 4.6 Final Released!

Hi,

Okay, I've got xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager installed, how do I actually configure it?
There's nothing in the Power Management Preferences that allows me to set a command to run the hibernate script which I normally do through sudo (which is configured only for a handful of applications).
The alternative that I can think of is to place symlinks to the hibernate and hibernate-ram scripts into /usr/bin and change owner and group permissions, but that doesn't seem to work.
I'm  any pointers appreciated.

Hi,
I don't think that's correct, at least you don't have to install xfce4-power-manager. I have one laptop and everything (like hibernate when choosing the hibernate option from the logout command) has been working smoothly without xfce4-power-manager.
Yet I've now installed it and it looks great!
My reason for looking at this thread is that I have a workstation where hibernate from the Xfce logout menu used to work fine, but it seems that since the upgrade to Xfce 4.6 I cannot use the logout menu anymore to hibernate. I get something like 'hibernate script not found'.
Running /usr/sbin/hibernate from the command line works fine though.
For some reason it seems Xfce has lost touch with what command it should run to hibernate the system. How can I fix that?
Cheers

Haven't come up with anything yet, just using the command line (which is fine since I usually need that available anyway.

Xfce will try to use HAL for suspend/hibernate. You can also disable the buttons on the logout dialog with the following 2 commands.
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /shutdown/ShowHibernate -s false
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /shutdown/ShowSuspend -s false |

Well I have HAL installed and running, but no dice. Any idea how to trouble shoot?

I used the slightly different (i.e. -n flag):
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -np '/shutdown/ShowSuspend' -t 'bool' -s 'false'
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -np '/shutdown/ShowHibernate' -t 'bool' -s 'false' |

Thanks for the pointers s0ulslack, but I've already applied the Power Management to the desktop and laptop for some time (about two years if I remember correctly, haven't done it yet on the PS3, but that systems a lot newer and is still being tweaked).
I can hibernate and suspend no problem...as root (or user via sudo) from a terminal.
The problem I have is in configuring Xfce4's logout dialog to acknowledge that I'm running tuxonice kernels with sys-power/hibernate-scripts installed and locate the /usr/sbin/hibernate and /usr/sbin/hibernate-ram (which I have configured to allow my user account to have permission to execute via sudo).
Will try seeing if xfconf-query provides the ability to set this, but am connected over SSH at the moment and didn't touch the computers yesterday evening.

no, it's only front-end for hibernate-ram & hibernate commands |
I wish, it says it requires hal installed |

Yes! I had already HAL support, and emerging pm-utils did the trick! 
Thanks Xavier
