I'm reposting, changing the subject to the exact error message -- David.



freebsd-questions:

I have a computer with Intel DQ67SWR3 motherboard, Intel i7-2600S 
processor, 8 GB memory, 16 GB SSD, and:

toor at freebsd:/root # freebsd-version

When I log in at the console, run 'startx', and log out, I see the 
following error messages on the console:

toor at freebsd:/root # dmesg -a | tail -n 4 | head -n 2

I do not want or need suspend or hibernate.


STFW I guessed at a solution:

toor at freebsd:/root # cat /usr/local/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/51-suspend.rules
polkit.addRule(function (action, subject) {
   if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.suspend"
       && subject.isInGroup("dpchrist")) {
     return polkit.Result.NO;
   }
});


This just causes more error messages.


How do configure Xfce and/or dbus to not use suspend and hibernate (and 
stop issuing error messages)?


TIA,

David
