Description of problem: When trying to change the power management options there is no option to save, so I close the window. The values changed revert back to their original settings, which were changed from what I had set before the update on or before 1st July. I think that Power management changes should request root authorisation before you are allowed to change them but this does not occur either. When attempting to run gnome-control-center power from a console it aborts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select System-Preferences-Power Management 2. Change one of the values and exit 3. Repeat step 1, the value has reverted to its original value Actual results: No values changed Expected results: Required values should be stored Additional info:

It only aborts when I attempt to run it is either root or through sudo The output when running as root is : ** (gnome-control-center:23591): WARNING **: Could not load icon 'file-manager': Icon 'file-manager' not present in theme Gtk-ERROR: The connection is closed aborting... Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) When running through sudo I get: ** (gnome-control-center:23594): WARNING **: Could not load icon 'file-manager': Icon 'file-manager' not present in theme Gtk-ERROR: Cannot determine session bus address (TODO: run dbus-launch to find out) aborting... Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
(In reply to comment #2) > It only aborts when I attempt to run it is either root or through sudo Don't do that. Have you got the dconf package installed? Richard.
1. OK I won't 2. No I do not
(In reply to comment #4) > 2. No I do not Okay, well you need to install dconf manually. I'm quite surprised something like gnome-desktop didn't pull this in for us. I'll reassign for comments. Matthias?
That fixed it, cheers
I've added that dependency in gnome-session now.
