Moved my post here from desktop forum
I noticed my desktop failed to go into power saver yesterday w/ Gbus error. No big deal, as long as nobody cares the pc never suspends if left on all night. I see now power manager settings disabled when not logged in root. I reinstalled xfce4-power-manager and upower but didn't fix it. Slackware current kernel 6.1.9, xfce 4.18. I tried changing rules in /etc/polkit-1. Added user to "power" group I saw in rules nope that's not it. Cloned back to 6.1.4 and did full update back to 6.1.9 w/ exception of polkit 122 package, and no probs. Can somebody point me in the right direction..debug info below if that helps...thanks Brian

Did you replace mozjs-78 with mosjz-102 as per the Feb 1st changelog?

that was it
thanks
I don't know why my update mirror did not update from mozj78 to 102, as it is listed on the package list.
but that fixed it

thank you

it hasn't update automatically because they are two different packages, not only the version but also the name of the package is different, so you should manually install mozjs102 and remove mozjs78.
if you are using slackpkg the same task is accomplished running
but the second command will try to remove also the third-party packages you have installed so you have to manually deselect them (or blacklist them, whatever suits you better).
