Public bug reported: Binary package hint: policykit
After upgrade to Karmic, I can no longer shutdown or restart from the gnome session menu. When chosing shutdown, the system logs out, but comes back to the gnome login screen. There is a WARNING/ERROR in /var/log/daemon.log: Dec 29 12:59:39 purple gnome-session[1841]: WARNING: Unable to stop system: Not privileged for action: org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop no I tried changing lines in the config files: /usr/local/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy and /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.policykit.policy Both had: <action id="org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop"> <description>Stop the system</description> <message>System policy prevents stopping the system</message> <defaults> <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive> <allow_active>yes</allow_active> </defaults> </action> but changes <allow_inactive> to 'yes' does not fix the problem. ** Affects: policykit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Karmic] Shutdown/restart from gnome menu does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
