Systemd Power Management (Arch Linux users are currently screwed)
#1
Hey there,

currently XBMC uses the long unmaintained ConsoleKit for shutting down and rebooting. Arch Linux has recently dropped ConsoleKit from the official repositories, so power management doesn't work at all for Arch Linux users.

Unfortunately I could find neither a bug report nor any talk about this. Are there any plans to support systemd, or more specifically logind, for power management? More and more distributions will drop ConsoleKit in the long-term, so imho it would make perfect sense to support this.

thanks and best regards,
