How to fix trouble with xfce4-power-manager

micron1390 · 2023-10-10 23:17:44

Hello everyone,

I have a trouble with xfce4-power-manager

Are there any ideas on how this can be solved?

Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon --debug

Hello and welcome.

Tell us more.

What exactly is the problem you are experiencing?
And what is your system like? (looks like a remote connection or VM).
Which distro and version of xfce4-power-manager are you running?

but vnc with XFCE works
for example, with the graphical shell GNOME everything is ok according to the logs

2. Physical host to which connect via TigerVNC to the RHEL 8.8 system
3. Xfce Power Manager 4.16.0

This is basically saying that the system doesn't support DPMS (power saving) on a virtual monitor - what vnc is running on, which makes sense if you think about it. Its a harmless message. Since its being generated by xfce4-screensaver, you could just uninstall xfce4-screensaver as you probably don't need a screensaver running on a remote system (local screensaver should lock the screen).

Do you have saved profiles? What does the following return:

xfconf-query -c displays -lv

(tracker-extract:1337089): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 20:49:32.199: g_dbus_connection_signal_unsubscribe: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

This is a problem with the tracker application - best to investigate there as it is not an Xfce component.

The rest are just warnings and can be ignored. Some of the xfce4-power-manager warnings are fixed in 4.18.

micron1390 · 2023-10-12 11:12:14

xfconf-query -c displays -lv

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
Failed to init libxfconf: Error spawning command line “dbus-launch --autolaunch=5d14a8bd1bad4d1dac98ca17c6b25c4c --binary-syntax --close-stderr”: Child process exited with code 1.

Can I update xfce4-power-manager via dnf package manager? or is there another way? "dnf groupinstall "Xfce" "base-x"
and is it better to uninstall xfce4-screensaver?

Thank you.

Ok there is something strange going on there.

On the rhel 8.8 system, how are you logging in? regular user or root? Can you post back your vnc startup files?

You can only update if RHEL has the newer version available in its repositories, or there are complimentary repositories that provide that version. Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with RHEL.

I meant the ~/.vnc/config file. Can you post the content of that file? Also ~/.vnc/xstartup if it exists.

Can you also post the output of:

xfconf-query -c displays -lv

~/.vnc/config

session=xfce
securitytypes=vncauth,tlsvnc
geometry=1280x1024
localhost
alwaysshared

~/.vnc/xstartup don't exists

xfconf-query -c displays -lv
