Seems like after running a pacman -Syu yesterday and logging out that in order to suspend the computer now I have to enter an admin password?? Is there any way to change that back to the way it was?? If I click “suspend” then I would want the machine to suspend . . . ?? I think before in XFCE it might have asked me, “Do you really want to suspend?” which then simply clicking “yes” is easier than needing to enter password each time I want to suspend the machine.
I could “understand” the request for password to shut down the machine, but for suspend??
One can suspend with a bunch of different commands, some of which prompt for sudo, some not. Where exactly do you click? There was never a prompt asking for suspend.
This is in the GUI . . . clicking in the toolbar for the various “log out” “suspend” or “shutdown” from the drop down menu . . . . Have not tried to additionally launch the console to run a command.
Mostly end user running in the GUI and during the day I will want to pause using the machine but not shutdown . . . running multi-boot so trying to keep it simple.
I can’t recall if there was a notification window before when suspending, asking to confirm the decision, but now it asks for the admin password to do that . . . that part is “new” . . . added layer of complication, etc.
[edit] Odds bodkins . . . having shut down the machine and logged back into Manjaro, after checking it this morning . . . the “problem” doesn’t seem to be reproducible . . . says the crazy person muttering to himself . . . . Happened multiple times yesterday whille running Manjaro and then again this morning, but seems to have restored itself to, “click suspend and machine suspends,” no questions asked or password required. Have to monitor it for a bit . . . thing from Twilight Zone, or I was in another distro??? Checks meds to see if any dosages have changed there that might induce changes in OS behaviors??? [/edit]
[edit2] Thread was closed a little too quickly IMHO. Following up on this issue, on another machine running Manjaro XFCE which I didn’t boot for a couple of weeks, ran the pacman and there were 435 packages to upgrade . . . ran it through, logged out w/o request for admin password and back in did a couple other moves . . . then clicked “shut down” . . . display went black and then the “request for admin password to shut down window opened . . . entered password and the display went black again and shut down.
Cold booted back into Manjaro did a couple of moves then again tried to shut down. That time, no request for password . . . this must be some new feature associated with System Updates such that right after the pacman is run admin password is requested until machine is shut down and rebooted?? Manjaro is the only distro of the 8+ distros that I have running on this machine that does that . . . sort of a “crossover” from console to GUI??? Glitch? [/edit]
