Uploaded to trusty-proposed; now in the upload queue.

Hello Cruz, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-docs into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/14.04.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I have successfully installed and run ubuntu-docs 14.04.4 from trusty-proposed. An action item for multiple-sessions is now included on the power-hibernate page.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for ubuntu-docs has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-docs - 14.04.4

Latest tag in documentation with the following "multiple" action is not working on my machine:

"Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate; org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions"

If I split it into two tags, works like a charm.

<code>
[Re-enable hibernate by default in logind]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

[Re-enable hibernate by default in logind for multiple]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions
ResultActive=yes
</code>

Maybe I'm testing it wrong? Sorry for not testing it *before* making the modification on the documentation :(

Hi Cruz,

Unfortunately I'm not able to test it myself, since hibernation doesn't work at all on my machine.

I got the idea with merging them into one entry from an experienced developer. According to "man pklocalauthority" the value of an "Action" key should consist of "a semi-colon separated list of globs to match action identifiers". However, given your latest comment, I now fear that the space character after the semi-colon should not be there.

Can you please test with one entry again, but without that space?

Hi Gunnar,

Looks like the space is the culprit!! Thanks a lot for your time on this
issue.

Cruz

Thanks for confirming that, Cruz. I filed bug #1360657 about it.

https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html should be updated with the correction tomorrow. However, the ubuntu-docs package for trusty will be updated only in a few months.
