Package: hal Version: 0.5.11-1 Severity: normal Hi there,
I'm trying to build hal power management support into acpi-support, but when I try to call the SystemPowerManagement interface I get: # dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0 Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement" member "Suspend" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal") To make this work I have to edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf and add: <policy user="root"> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/> </policy> Is there a specific reason that root can't suspend or shut down the system through Hal, or is this just an omission? Anyway, I would like this to work, so that I can make acpi-support do its thing. :-) Cheers, Bart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
