[arch-general] my Arch box randomly becomes irresponsible

[Not To Miss]

I didn't know the command pkaction. It's quite handy. Here are the output
of the pkaction:

$ pkaction | grep "\(hibernate\)\|\(suspend\)" -i
org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
org.freedesktop.upower.suspend

$ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.upower.suspend --verbose
org.freedesktop.upower.suspend:
  description:       Suspend the system
  message:           Authentication is required to suspend the system
  vendor:            The UPower Project
  vendor_url:        http://upower.freedesktop.org/
  icon:              system-suspend
  implicit any:      no
  implicit inactive: no
  implicit active:   yes

$ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate --verbose
org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate:
  description:       Hibernate the system
  message:           Authentication is required to hibernate the system
  vendor:            The UPower Project
  vendor_url:        http://upower.freedesktop.org/
  icon:              system-suspend
  implicit any:      no
  implicit inactive: no
  implicit active:   yes

I think my current settings is overwritten by an most recent system update
to "yes" now. But the problem exists no matter what setting that is.
