Whenever my laptop suspends, this shows up.

I get its because of no privilege, when I type `systemctl suspend` in terminal I get the same notification. It needs sudo. How do I give it permission system-wide in graphical environment? (KDE Plasma 5, Arch)

Hi, If you have sudo setup for (ALL), then use the "user" password

If sudo is not setup completely you may have to use the root admin password.

I only need sudo for one thing so as soon as it is setup I remove sudo from my system.

nano /etc/sudoers

Code:

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# See sudoers(5) for more information on "@include" directives:

@includedir /etc/sudoers.d

I don't remember doing anything from a kde app. But, mine has this.
nano /etc/sudoers.d/kdesu-sudoers

Code:

# Workaround for KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/452532
# To be installed with permissions root:root 440 in /etc/sudoeors.d/

Defaults!/usr/lib/*/libexec/kf5/kdesu_stub !use_pty

be sure to reset permissions for the file(s).

I hope this helps.

This is a shot in the dark, but I found your question intriguing.

I'm going out on a limb here and guess that, as you say this happens on "auto-suspend," auto-suspend may not be properly set up. Therefore, when the system resumes, it is asking for the password that it expected to have been issued at time of suspend.

Does that make sense?

I did a web search for "systemd auto-suspend password" and turned up this article that may be relevant.

All these solutions seem great but I didn't check them, instead I found a different solution by asking some guys on the IRC:

I added '49-nopasswd_global.rules' file in 'rules.d': `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/49-nopasswd_global.rules` containing this:

Code:

/* Allow members of the wheel group to execute any actions
 * without password authentication, similar to "sudo NOPASSWD:"
 */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (subject.isInGroup("wheel")) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});

after that I added myself to group wheel
