sudo apt install network-manager sudo apt install network-manager-gnome sudo systemctl enable rvice I rebooted the system, and the network manager plugin appeared in XFCE4's tray. Because of dependencies with systemd I dont have policykit > installed. xfce4-session sets XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME correctly in systemd user sessions libxfce4ui wont try to set a button image if an empty string is used. Maybe I should log myself in automatically? But then to make sure nobody would get access to my account, I would need to automatically lock the screen, as well. Assuming your kernel and computers hardware does support suspend/hibernate, you can see what xfce4-power-manager is trying to do by starting it in debug mode. loginctl show-seat EnableWallMessagesyes NAutoVTs6 KillUserProcessesno RebootToFirmwareSetupno IdleHintno IdleSinceHint0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic0 BlockInhibitedhandle-power-key:handle-suspend-key:handle-hibernate-key:handle-lid-switch DelayInhibitedsleep InhibitDelayMaxUSec5s HandlePowerKeypoweroff HandleSuspendKeysuspend HandleHibernateKeyhibernate HandleLidSwitchsuspend.

Is there any way to make sure that xfce4-power-manager is loaded without logging in? Or if not then somehow make sure that the laptop would still suspend when on battery? I have laptop-mode-tools installed, but I have disabled the suspend after some time feature, because I did not want it to clash with the settings of xfce4-power-manager.

The problem was that I had to leave the laptop in the middle of the update process, and could only go back 2 hours later.) (The reason I was not logged in was that I updated the windows which, after the update process is finished, restarts and then grub chooses Bunsenlabs to boot first. It was rather bad, because I left my laptop on battery thinking that it will suspend itself, and when I went back to it 2 hours later then it only had 11% battery left and still not suspended. I just realized that if I am not logged in, then xfce4-power-manager is not loaded.
