[SOLVED] Xfce on Lenovo X240 - suspend etc. not available

[Armand_Karlsen]

Just installed Xfce on a Lenovo X240 and I notice that Suspend, Hibernate, Shutdown, and Restart are not available in the Action Buttons widget as my normal user, but I am able to do a shutdown with a "shutdown -P now" command from a root console. What should I check to make the options available?

Set the policykit and consolekit use flags and do an emerge -uDN world. You'll also want to start your session with ck-launch-session.

A good check as to whether you're configured correctly is the command 'ck-list-sessions' should report :active = TRUE" for your uid.

policykit and consolekit were already in use flags (from the "desktop" profile, I think), so merely adding --with-ck-launch to my user's .xinitrc seems to have done the trick. Thanks!
