[gentoo-user] Suspend, hibernate and mount stopped working as a regular user.

[Yohan Pereira]

Hi,
  This happened after a recent world upgrade. I am currently using kde 4.8.4. 
I can however suspend, hibernate using the pm-utils as root. Google has
lead me to believe this has something to do with consolekit. I found this
thread [1] which is more or less what I am experiencing (I can't mount
too). Running that dbus command gives me the same output mentioned
there.

  yohan@powerslave ~ $ dbus-send --system --print-reply
  --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower
  org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
  Error org.freedesktop.UPower.GeneralError: not authorized

However I am not sure how to solve this. I don't have an .xinitrc file in my
home folder. So I looked at /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/, I tried removing
the file called 90-consolekit, which didn't help. 

  Anybody has any idea how to proceed in debugging this problem? any use
full output I can post?I have this feeling that I missed some important 
piece of information from my portage log. I skimmed over summary.log 
nothing caught my attention.

Or maybe sys-auth/polkit? There were issues lately with a nonexisting
home directory, the elog message tells us to fix this with:

    usermod -d "/var/lib/polkit-1" "polkitd"

Hi,
  Thanks for the reply. Oddly the only polkit related message in my
summary.log is something about the user group wheel being changed to adm.
I ran your command though it says "no changes". The path is already set
in /etc/passwd.
