It was not started as a default service on your current runlevel, but was |
| 32 |
started as a dependency anyway - when e.g. you logged into your desktop. |

If consolekit does not fix your ability to suspend/hibernate as a plain user, |
| 55 |
then it could well be a bug (or setting) related to your desktop (xface). I |
| 56 |
don't use this desktop to be able to advise further, but generally I would try |
| 57 |
to run the command as a plain user while keeping an eye on the terminal, |
| 58 |
syslog, and xorg.0.log, for any messages pointing to the underlying problem. |
