In Trusty, the relevant code has been rewritten to use logind instead of consolekit: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-session/trunk.14.04/revision/388
But note that when invoking org.freedesktop.login1.Manager->CanPowerOff() from a remote session, its output is: "challenge" instead of "yes" that an active (local) session produces. That means that when indicator-session calls org.freedesktop.login1.Manager->PowerOff() with a "false" parameter to prevent prompting, then PowerOff() does nothing. So, indicator-session should either 1) Hide the actions that return "challenge", or 2) Enable the prompt when the action specified "challenge". (2) would allow remote users to shutdown the server, so I think everyone in this bug report prefer (1). :) ** Description changed: - indicator-session's shutdown, hibernate etc menus should check via - policykit if the user has enough rights to invoke them, otherwise they - should be hidden or grayed-out. + indicator-session's shutdown, hibernate etc menus should check if the user has enough rights to invoke them, otherwise they should be hidden or grayed-out. + While some code for this already exists, it's not working correctly, + neither in 12.04 (consolekit) + nor in 14.04 (logind). + [Original description] LTSP chroot client built with Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic shows Suspend, Hibernate, Restart and Shut Down in the logout menu 'indicator-applet-session'.
