Might be a two-parter bug. On the indicator-session side, we need to handle "challenge" as a response to CanSuspend / CanHibernate calls and, when calling suspend/hibernate, allow interactivity. This is in the fix-suspend-on-u8 branch.
Even after this is done, u8's challenge prompt is the lockscreen, so the unintuitive UX is that you have to (appear to) unlock in order to suspend. So in u8, 1. we should consider whether a password prompt should be necessary for suspend, and 2. if prompt is necessary, Calls to login1.Suspend(interactive=True) should probably be handled more elegantly than showing the lockscreen prompt ** Changed in: indicator-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Also affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1674389 Title: Session Indicator's "Suspend" button has no effect in Unity 8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bug/1674389/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
