Not a lot of details or a screen shot so I'll suppose I'll try to grab the daily image and try it out.

So Ubuntu uses loginD which means xfpm will do an auth check with LoginD if it detects it is running, otherwise it will fall back to upower if 0.9.23 is installed. It will only use the internal pkexec method if the new Xubuntu image uses upower 0.99.

Do I need to install it to disk? Is this with i386 or "core" ISO? I picked the amd64.

sorry - further thinking this is expected behaviour

installation in hardware and all is as I would expect

once installed to a vm - xfpm shouldn't be able to suspend or hibernate in a vm

According to the upstream report, this is the expected behavior and not a bug.
