Hi guys,
I've a problem with xfce, exactly xfce4-session-logout, part of xfce4-session.
If I run it, i can't shutdown or restart or suspend or hibernate the system. I can only exit from xfce and return to shell.
After a system crash, I've formatted and reinstalled the entire system, but the problem is still here.
Suspend and hibernation support in the kernel are enabled (in fact echo disk or mem > /sys/power/state works).
Dbus daemon is OK.
Code:
dave@huigg ~ $ equery uses xfce4-session
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]
 * Found these USE flags for xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.12.1:
 U I
 - - debug        : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra
                    output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https:
                    //wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
 + + nls          : Add Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale
                    utilities)
 + + policykit    : Enable PolicyKit authentication support
 - - systemd      : Enable use of systemd-specific libraries and features like
                    socket activation or session tracking
 + + upower       : Enable power management support
 + + xscreensaver : Add support for XScreenSaver extension

---
Polkit is working:
dave@huigg ~ $ pkexec
(Password requested with GUI)
huigg ~ #
---
Feel free to request other files or log. :wink:
Thanks in advance!
Edit: If I login as root and startxfce4, all works.
Edit2:
Code:
dave@huigg ~ $ ls -l /sbin/{shutdown,reboot,poweroff}
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     4 30 lug 10.30 /sbin/poweroff -> halt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     4 30 lug 10.30 /sbin/reboot -> halt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23128 30 lug 10.30 /sbin/shutdown

Edit3: Solved myself

SOLVED! The solution was: Polkit is not set correctly.
you need to allow the programs to do root actions without requiring a password:
Taken from Arch Wiki
Code:
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/49-nopasswd_global.rules

/* Allow members of the wheel group to execute any actions
 * without password authentication, similar to "sudo NOPASSWD:"
 */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (subject.isInGroup("wheel")) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});
