 Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2018 6:18 am Post subject: [solved]Plasma 5.13 Cannot shutdown/restart from system menu |
 |
|
The menu items do exist in the system menu, however not working.
When click to shutdown or restart system, it would just logoff and bring me a SDDM login screen.
Environments:
Plasma 5.13.3
SDDM 0.18.0
elogind 238.1
dbus 1.12.8
upower 0.99.7
cannot find any clue from the log..
It happened after a system update, and I've downgraded the listed packages but i still cannot find out which package should be responsible for this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thx!

This sounds like it could be an "improvement" of a Polkit policy that your update brought in. The same thing happened to me along the way with Mate, and I fixed it as follows:
Check to see if you have a /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy file. If you do, open it and you'll see a bunch of entries like this:
| Code: |
<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>
|
The relevant ones for your problem will have descriptions like "Stop the system" and "Restart the system" and the like. Check the values between the <allow_active> tags; if they're not "yes", try changing them to "yes" and see if that doesn't let you shut down your system again.
Of course, having a good understanding of Polkit and what the options mean is better than trying my advice blindly, but I don't think that making the change above is going to seriously endanger your system. |

I've switched to elogind since the compatible issues between SDDM and Consolekit, hence there is no file named org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy. Follow your suggestion, I found a file named org.freedesktop.login1.policy that should correspond to org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy on your box. It seems unnecessary to change the defaults.
| Code: | <action id="org.freedesktop.login1.inhibit-block-shutdown">
<description>Allow applications to inhibit system shutdown</description>
<message>Authentication is required for an application to inhibit system shutdown.</message>
<defaults>
<allow_any>no</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
<annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.imply">org.freedesktop.login1.inhibit-delay-shutdown org.freedesktop.login1.inhibit-block-sleep org.freedesktop.login1.inhibit-delay-sleep org.freedesktop.login1.inhibit-block-idle</annotate>
</action>
<action id="org.freedesktop.login1.inhibit-delay-shutdown">
<description>Allow applications to delay system shutdown</description>
<message>Authentication is required for an application to delay system shutdown.</message>
<defaults>
<allow_any>yes</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
<annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.imply">org.freedesktop.login1.inhibit-delay-sleep</annotate>
</action> |

Please, check your ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log for errors.
(In mine there is something like:
| Code: | ** (process:11167): CRITICAL **: polkit_agent_listener_register_with_options: assertion 'POLKIT_IS_SUBJECT (subject)' failed
"Cannot register authentication agent!"
Authentication agent result: false
Couldn't register listener! |
I have similar situation but now I am short on time and cannot debug this.
IMHO this could be a bug on kde side (especially powerdevil, or ksmserver).
In my case, I cant change brightness level by Fn keys ( echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0/brightness works) and poweroff and reboot command are causing log of.
Creating new user just to check if something is broken on config side makes no difference, but could be helpful for you tough. |

I found the same yielding in my xorg-session.log and I got an error when issuing pkexec
$pkexec
| Code: | ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.policykit.exec ====
Authentication is needed to run `/bin/zsh' as the super user
Authenticating as: root
Password:
polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie
==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ====
Error executing command as another user: Not authorized
This incident has been reported. |
It seems polkit authorization is broken.
Then I found this issue in the github.
However, there is a workaround to solve my issue.
Touch a new polkit rule file named 40-loing1.rules under /etc/polkit-1/rules.d
| Code: | polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.power-off" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.reboot" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions")
{
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
}); |
