Created attachment 6115 systemd broke xfce After upgrading system to XFCE 4.12 then i try to mount/umount usb flash from desktop or Thunar, or then i try to reboot or logout or suspend via xfce4-session-logout i receive pkexec password prompt from udisks or systemd and xfsm-shutdown-helper. Prompt popup placed under xfsm-shutdown-helper modal prompt, so i can't input password and i can't focus xfsm-shutdown-helper. Only one thing helps: switch to virtual tty console and killall -9 xfsm-shutdown-helper. And the process of suspending longer now, after upgarde. Then i try: dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend It says: Error org.freedesktop.UPower.GeneralError: not authorized And MDM autostart fails, system booting now hangs, needs manually launch mdm from virtual tty console. I think it's all about systemd. Modal windows and systemd - seeds of evil, germinated through xfce. Sad. My system: System: Linux Mint 17 Qiana xfce4.12 Kernel: i686 Linux 3.13.0-24-generic CPU: Intel Atom CPU N450 @ 1.667GHz Video driver: Kernel driver i915 Graphic processor: VGA compatible Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller X.Org X Server 1.15.1 Last installed packages during dist upgrade: http://pastie.org/10045488
I think i found a problem source. It's all because systemd didn't start MDM automatically, and system booting hangs, and i had to start MDM manually from virtual tty console, and that is why the session was, somehow not enough authorized to do power and disks management. As workaround i switched to use LightDM instead MDM, and it starts fine, and prompts gone. And systemd is evil. And modal windows too. Cheers!
