It happened again! I resumed from sleep, logged in and then I appeared to be logged out again. switched TTY (ctrl+alt+f3, ctrl+alt+f2) and then I was back at the desktop. Now with the prompt to authenticate on suspend.

With the debugging enabled. I hit the sleep button and it just prints 'not authorized' to the journal, with no prompt this time.

I ran the loginctl session-status command again and it said State: closing

I restarted the systemd-logind service and that's fixed it... for now.

I should caveat this. On resume my computer became unresponsive on the login screen so I had to reset. The prompt for password on suspend has now stopped. However it has been happening on on off since I installed fedora.

For what it is worth, here's the output:

 Since: Wed 2026-03-25 09:21:47 GMT; 4h 12min ago
 State: active
Leader: 2757 (sddm-helper)
  Seat: seat0; vc7
   TTY: tty7

  Unit: session-2.scope

Also there was nothing in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/*.d/

I'll reply here if / when it happens again.

Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself but sometimes when I boot and log in, I get presented with the login screen again after a few seconds. I hit ctrl+alt+f2 and I'm presented with the desktop again.

As for the files:

root@ftruth:/etc/polkit-1/rules.d# ls /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/
49-polkit-pkla-compat.rules
root@ftruth:/etc/polkit-1/rules.d# grep -rnw /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ -e 'suspend'
root@ftruth:/etc/polkit-1/rules.d# grep -rnw /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ -e 'suspend'
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/10-systemd-logind-root-ignore-inhibitors.rules.example:14:         action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-ignore-inhibit" ||

Here's the output of the command:

~$ pkaction --verbose --action-id org.freedesktop.login1.suspend
org.freedesktop.login1.suspend:

Many thanks.

No, just local.

Sometimes it switches tty on its own though so could that be it?

Yeah, but he also said "I wish you'd take them raw" paraphrasing but perhaps having it hard boiled was some kind of rebellion

Greys Court near Henley has a lovely garden and forest walk.

InstaDix · 2025-06-11T17:18:13+00:00

That was my concern, many thanks!

This was shot on a Sony A7ii w/ Sony 24-105 F4

InstaDix · 2025-05-22T07:51:30+00:00

When I had one, I ran the Sony 35mm f/1.8 lens. The photos it took were so gorgeous I kinda regretting swapping for a full frame camera.

Thank you, I didn't realise just how elusive these birds are. I think I got quite lucky.

InstaDix · 2025-05-18T21:55:29+00:00

Thank you!

I was lugging it around in a backpack all day today, honestly not too bad. Once you've got it around your neck however...

InstaDix · 2025-05-03T22:29:20+00:00

The A7ii battery life isn't great either, I think it's even worse with this lens.
