--- Begin Message ---Package: fvwm Version: 1:2.5.26-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch The FvwmScript-Quit script contains the following lines to shutdown and reboot the computer as a (normal) user: [...] Begin If $ToDo == Logout Then Do {Exec sync} Do {Exec /sbin/shutdown -r now} Quit End Else Begin Do {Exec sync} Do {Exec /sbin/shutdown -h now} Quit End [...] I don't know how the author thought it should be used by a user. In /usr/share/doc/fvwm/docs/FAQ.gz one can read: "3.16 How do I set up an fvwm menu item that shuts down my Linux machine? A: Write a little shell script to run the shutdown command. Install sudo on your system [...] Set up the sudoers config file to allow you [...] to run that script with root permissions. Add a menu item to your fvwm root menu [...] that invokes 'sudo /my/script/name'." I solved the problem for me by editing the sudoers file and the FvwmScript-Quit file. I attached my version of FvwmScript-Quit to let you include it in future versions of fvwm, if you like. In fact, I just put a "sudo" before every shutdown command. So, it was not that much work. But it's my first patch for debian and I'm so proud... :) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fvwm depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfribidi0 0.10.9-1 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libglib1.2ldbl 1.2.10-19 The GLib library of C routines ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-18.1 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.6+20080830-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-2 PNG library - runtime ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii librplay3 3.3.2-11.1 Shared libraries for the rplay net ii librsvg2-2 2.22.2-2 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstroke0 0.5.1-6 mouse strokes library -- runtime f ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.12-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.7-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages fvwm recommends: ii fvwm-icons 2001.08.13-6 XPMs icons from fvwm development s Versions of packages fvwm suggests: ii cpp 4:4.3.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) pn fvwm-themes <none> (no description available) pn libx11-protocol-perl <none> (no description available) ii m4 1.4.11-1 a macro processing language ii menu 2.1.40 generates programs menu for all me pn perl-tk <none> (no description available) pn wm-icons <none> (no description available) -- no debconf informationWindowTitle {Quit} WindowSize 400 265 # Taille WindowPosition 191 143 # Position #ForeColor {black} #BackColor {grey85} #ShadowColor {grey55} #HilightColor {grey100} #Font -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-* Init Begin WarpPointer 1 Set $ToDo = Logout ChangeValue 6 1 ChangeValue 7 0 ChangeValue 8 0 ChangeValue 9 0 ChangeValue 10 0 End Widget 1 Property Position 40 40 Flags NoReliefString NoFocus Type ItemDraw Icon shutdown.xpm Main Case message of SingleClic : Begin End End Widget 2 Property Size 370 200 Position 15 15 Type Rectangle Main Case message of SingleClic : Begin End End Widget 3 Property Title { What do you want to do?
