[gentoo-user] Problems hibernating after recent routine upgrade

[gentoo-user] Problems hibernating after recent routine upgrade

[Dr Rainer Woitok]

Greetings,

after my last routine upgrade on Friday trying to hibernate my laptop by
pressing the power key pops-up a window telling me

   An application is currently disabling the automatic sleep.  Doing
   this action now may damage the working state of this application.
   Are you sure you want to hibernate the system?

       No                                                    Yes

No information whatsoever who is issuing this message nor which applica-
tion is preventing hibernation.

Clicking on "No" simply terminates the hibernation attempt, while click-
ing on "Yes"  cleanly hibernates  as far as I can tell.   After resuming
from hibernation later everything appears to work normally.

Besides the system  hibernates just normally  without any pop-up windows
when I click on "Hibernate"  in Xfce's "Action Buttons" menu in the task
bar.

Does this ring a bell with somebody?

Sincerely,
  Rainer

Thankyou for the link.   But the command mentioned there did not lead to
anything,  neither when called unprivileged (exit code 0)  nor as "root"
(exit code 1):

   $ dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit.GetInhibitors
   method return time=1741177722.328776 sender=:1.24 -> destination=:1.290 serial=126 reply_serial=2
   array [
   ]
   $

   # dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit.GetInhibitors
   Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PowerManagement was not provided by any .service files
   #

Maybe that's not too surprising,  given that one of the two ways to tell
my laptop to hibernate is working flawlessly.  Where can I find informa-
tion about which commands or processes  are involved  when I short-press
the power key?

Sincerely,
  Rainer
