[gentoo-user] Gnome logout dialog in Ubuntu has way more options - how to get suspend?

[gentoo-user] Gnome logout dialog in Ubuntu has way more options - how to get suspend?

[Alexander Skwar]

Hi!

When I logout of Gnome in Ubuntu (to start Gentoo *G*), I get the
following dialog: http://www.myimg.de/?img=gnomelogoutc2e.gif

That dialog has a lot more options than the dialog shown in Gentoo.
In Gentoo, I do not have "Ruhezustand" (Hibernate) and the dialog
looks a lot simpler.

What do I have to do, to get the Ubuntu gnome logout dialog in
Gentoo as well?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

First things first, what version of Gnome is your Ubuntu screenshot from,
and which version of Gnome in Gentoo are you using?

To add hibernate option you have to set SuspendCommand variable in
/etc/X11/gdm.conf. However I found out that if I set this to hibernate
script, it is not executed.

SuspendCommand=/usr/sbin/hibernate

I'm trying to get it work but I do not get any error message or error
log. Executing hibernate script from console works.

Just a thought:  do you need to sudo it?

Sudo did not help. I enabled debug logging for gdm but nothing useful
was logged.

In Ubuntu, this has no effect. As far as I know, this logout
dialog comes from gnome-power-manager. I think so, as the
available options on this dialog can be controlled in gconf
with the key apps/gnome-power-manager.

Yes. In Ubuntu, the actions are controlled by the
/usr/sbin/pmi script; pmi comes from what they call "powermanagement-interface".
Such a package doesn't exist in Gentoo, it seems. According
to the "Portage File Search" on http://www.rommel.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~fejf/pfs/
no package provides /usr/sbin/pmi.

And all of that is also somehow controlled by hal.

I found an old thread of mine on the gnome-power-management
list. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.powermanager.devel/1156/focus=1156

Esp. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.powermanager.devel/1163
