This seems to happen every upgrade of xfce4/polkit/dbus. polkit seems to me just another HAL... Try: http://wiki.xfce.org/tips Of course you still need to put: xfce4-user-session-shutdown.sh in the /etc/sudoers file and allow yourself (and whatever other users that you want) to shutdown. Myself, I'm still running xfce4-4.6.2... and have this in my /etc/sudoers file: usernamehere hostname=NOPASSWD: /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper usernamehere hostname=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown If all else fails you can still do a manual "sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now"... Whatever happened to simplicity and the KIS rule? HTH Best regards Peter K

Thanks Rudmer, This works well. Thanks for your help. I was under the impression that these rules were supplied but obviously not. Must have got them from somewhere else before but can't remember where.

[gentoo-user] Xfce4 shutdown issues
Oops apologies. Should send this on gentoo-user email address. Since a recent upgrade of polkit (I think) as a normal user I can no longer shutdown using log out, shutdown option not available. As root using shutdown only logs you out but does not shutdown. On a second machine as a normal user I can see shutdown but this only logs me out. Are we supposed to write our own rules for this? I am in plugdev group and have dbus, consolekit and polkit in use flags. I cannot see any difference between config files on 2 machines but 1 is a laptop the other desktop??? Any suggestions other than converting to e16? (which is becoming tempting). This seems to happen every upgrade of xfce4/polkit/dbus. John D Maunder
