I’m using OpenSUSE 12.1 on my laptop and it is working fine so far, however last night it started asking me for root privileges when I try to suspend from gnome menu (User -> Suspend), which is very disturbing because, now after I close the lid, I have to open it again to enter the root password. Well last night I did not see the root prompt, I closed the lid, removed the charger and left, woke up to find the PC off, with an empty battery.
I did two things yesterday (unless I did something else and forgot about it )
Updated the system (currently using the latest official updates)
Tried using Paranoid
permissions but it did not work well so I reverted back to Easy
There’s no errors in /var/log/pm-suspend.log file,actually there’s nothing new in that file which means that pm-suspend hasn’t been invoked at all, explained by the this error message in ~/.xsession-errors
(gnome-shell:31823): libupower-glib-DEBUG: DBUS timed out, but recovering
JS LOG: pushModal: invocation of begin_modal failed

From the update repo only?

It looks to me as if some paranoid setting is still on.

I have the packman repository enabled but I did not update packages using it, only the update repo was used
Do you have any idea which setting it is ? I scanned through the /etc/permissions.paranoid file but I couldn’t see anything that could break the system
I should also add that the same happens now when I connect or disconnect an external monitor, it asks for a password to add/remove a color managed device.

Nope, no idea. But I do know that paranoid mode does break the system with
symptoms like yours and worse. IMO some setting in the paranoid mode was
not reverted.
