Dear all,

After a reboot on my laptop, I cannot anymore suspend or hibernate, which were working fine before.
I use xfce4 and xfce4-power-manager. I hope you can give me some useful hint.

This is the output of ck-list-sessions (which I think should be ok)

I notice that recompiling xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.0.10-r1. I get the following warning:

I set the kernel correctly

Hey, that is not supposed to happen. Are you sure that the kernel you are using is in fact the same kernel as in /usr/src/linux ? /usr/src/linux is a symlink. Please check 'uname -a' and make sure that the running kernel is the same as what /usr/src/linux is pointing to.

Actually, it is happaning...

Looking at first post of this thread. You have 2 open ConsoleKit sessions for /dev/tty7. This is not right. There should only be one visible.

Forgot to restore the 'nox11' param to /etc/pam.d/system-login after updating whatever Display Manager you are using to a new version with internal ConsoleKit support?

This is covered by the updated first post of this thread:

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965-start-0.html

And this kernel option everyone keeps talking about, is not related to suspending at all, it's more about getting wakeup timing information from CPUs. Sure, you should fix it regardless, but it's unrelated to the topic of this thread.

I haven't solved yet.
I re-emerged (as you suggested) pambase. And doing that wrote the right /etc/pam.d/system-login (with nox11)
I removed .xinitrc (which contained 'exec ck-launch-session startxfce4').
However I cannot suspend yet.
I get two sessions only, rather than three as it was at the beginning of the thread. This is an improvement, but did not solve the problem

You simply have to remember where you have put the extra ck-launch-session to ensure only 1 session for tty7 gets visible.
There are way, way, too many places to put it, to start listing here.

Good luck! I'm out.

Can somebody be so nice to suggest some of these places?

I never experimented anything weird on gentoo, I have just followed the installation guide the first time and then updated according to the news that were listed (e.g. eselect read news) or to solve emerge problems.

Thanks for the help of the community

One more precise question:

I have found that I have ck-launch-session inside /home/user/.xsession, is that correct? Or I should drop it also from there? (but then how does it knows what to start?)
