 Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2015 10:01 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] LXDE no shutdown and reboot buttons |
 |
|
Hi Guys,
Fresh installed system with LXDE with LXDM does not show shutdown and reboot buttons. Here is what I expect:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/lxde/7.png
And I only have buttons for Logout, Lock Screen and Cancel.
The same happens with root user and for my regular user, so I think there is no problem with permissions which came to my mind first.
LXDM is setup to run on boot with this:
| Code: | more /etc/conf.d/xdm | grep lxdm
DISPLAYMANAGER="lxdm"
|
| Code: | | rc-update add xdm default |
| Code: | rc-update | grep xdm
xdm | default |
I believe the reason why I don't have shutdown and reboot buttons is because of how LXDE is started:
| Code: | more /etc/X11/Sessions/lxde | grep startlxde
exec /usr/bin/startlxde
|
But I cannot find solution. Do you have any hint what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Branko

if you have xdm in rc-update, check and install lxdm (consolekit nls pam -debug -gtk3) if missing; then try to have:
| Quote: | cat /etc/conf.d/xdm.conf
# We always try and start X on a static VT. The various DMs normally default
# to using VT7. If you wish to use the xdm init script, then you should ensure
# that the VT checked is the same VT your DM wants to use. We do this check to
# ensure that you haven't accidentally configured something to run on the VT
# in your /etc/inittab file so that you don't get a dead keyboard.
CHECKVT=7
# What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | gpe | entrance ]
# NOTE: If this is set in /etc/rc.conf, that setting will override this one.
DISPLAYMANAGER="lxdm"
n ~ # less xdml.set
n ~ # more ~/templates//etc/conf.d/xdm.lxde
# We always try and start X on a static VT. The various DMs normally default
# to using VT7. If you wish to use the xdm init script, then you should ensure
# that the VT checked is the same VT your DM wants to use. We do this check to
# ensure that you haven't accidentally configured something to run on the VT
# in your /etc/inittab file so that you don't get a dead keyboard.
CHECKVT=7
# What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | gpe | entrance ]
# NOTE: If this is set in /etc/rc.conf, that setting will override this one.
DISPLAYMANAGER="lxdm" |
which should start your lxde at boot time.
Hopping I'm no missing anything, please then check about missing features.
Possibly login will remain in console #1, don't forget to try Ctrl/Alt/F7 to go to login screen.
Thks 4 ur attention. |

Hi CaptainBlood,
I already installed LXDM. I chose LXDM as my login manager. Here is my whole xdm:
| Code: |
more /etc/conf.d/xdm
# We always try and start X on a static VT. The various DMs normally default
# to using VT7. If you wish to use the xdm init script, then you should ensure
# that the VT checked is the same VT your DM wants to use. We do this check to
# ensure that you haven't accidentally configured something to run on the VT
# in your /etc/inittab file so that you don't get a dead keyboard.
CHECKVT=7
# What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | gpe | entrance ]
# NOTE: If this is set in /etc/rc.conf, that setting will override this one.
DISPLAYMANAGER="lxdm"

I already managed LXDM and LXDE to start at boot time.
My issue is that I don't have buttons for shutdown and restart as it is shown on above picture.
Thank you for looking into this post.

| AFAIR those buttons depend on polkit and dbus: Dbus must be running before you launch lxde |

It works!
Thank you szatox.
I had only to start D-Bus at boot time:
| Code: | | rc-update add dbus default |
And to reboot my machine.
