 Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2019 6:14 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Xfce4, Suspend/Reboot/Shutdown grey. |
 |
|
I'm having some issues getting Reboot/Shutdown/Suspend working from the panel in Xfce4. The options are greyed out.
This is a fresh install, done in December. They have been grey since I got Xfce4 installed and never did work. I seem to have everything I need, but apparently I've missed something. All commands (reboot, poweroff, shutdown -P now, pm-suspend) work fine either with sudo or as root.
Consolekit, Policykit, DBus, upower all installed.

I did find references to conflict issues between upower and pm-utils, but they are all several years old and seem to no longer apply. In fact, xfce4-power-manager requires pm-utils regardless of use flags, and xfce4-session pulls in pm-utils if you have upower enabled. I'm not sure it would be possible to have upower alone.
| Code: | warped@felucca ~ $ equery d pm-utils
* These packages depend on pm-utils:
sys-auth/consolekit-1.2.1 (pm-utils ? sys-power/pm-utils)
xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.12.1-r2 (upower ? sys-power/pm-utils)
xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.6.1 (sys-power/pm-utils)
|
Consolekit/Dbus are started and in the default runlevel:
| Code: | warped@felucca ~ $ rc-update show | grep -e dbus -e consolekit
consolekit | default
dbus | default
warped@felucca ~ $ rc-status | grep -e dbus -e consolekit
dbus [ started ]
consolekit [ started ]
|
User is a member of the relevant groups:
| Code: | warped@felucca ~ $ groups
lp wheel audio cdrom video cdrw usb users lpadmin pcscd plugdev warped
|
PolicyKit has a rules file allowing wheel-group users a free pass:
| Code: | felucca /home/warped # cat /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-admin.rules
polkit.addAdminRule(function(action, subject) {
return ["unix-group:wheel"];
});
|
Starting Xfce4 via SLiM and ~/xinitrc:
| Code: | warped@felucca ~ $ cat /etc/slim.conf | grep login_cmd
login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
warped@felucca ~ $ cat ~/.xinitrc
#startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session xfce4-session
|
Consolekit sessions exist after logging in:
| Code: | warped@felucca ~ $ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = 'x11'
session-class = 'user'
session-state = 'active'
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2019-01-15T16:52:28.648855Z'
login-session-id = '1'
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR = '/var/run/user/1000'
VTNr = '7'
Session2:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = 'unspecified'
session-class = 'user'
session-state = 'online'
active = FALSE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2019-01-15T16:52:28.936781Z'
login-session-id = '1'
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR = '/var/run/user/1000'
VTNr = '7'

Xfce4 power manager reports there is no authorization.

And lastly, my emerge --info:

The newest forum post I can find on the subject is from last year, and doesn't really have a smoking gun to point to, just "I recompiled lots of things and it works now". I did try that, with no luck. Everything I've found older than that mention the upower/pm-utils conflict (which I believe was resolved, and regarding systemd and upower-pm-utils), a since-fixed SLiM bug, or lead the questioner step-by-step through setting things up as I have here and it Just Works.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? The fact that Xfce Power Manager reports a lack of authorization makes me suspect a problem with my PolicyKit setup, but I'm not sure what I am looking for.
PolicyKit entries in /var/logs/auth.log from first boot today:
| Code: | felucca /var/log # cat auth.log | grep "Jan 15" | grep polkit

Edit: Solved. Did some more digging and found this post from 2015, which provided a different policykit rule than the one listed above that I had found earlier.
The Rule That Fixed It:
| Code: | /* 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;
}
}); |
