Hi all, I have a very strange problem with my system, I use Xfce DE. The button "shutdown" and "sleep" are gray. How can I fix this situation?

i try this solution but not work for me:
http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=21807#p21807

also not allowed to mount disks (usb pen drive) or partitions of my system, I can only do this by logging in as root!!
how can i resolve this?

I believe in general the desktop environment either has to talk to the display manager (login screen) *or* to lower level libraries (udev/hal, etc) to initiate those actions.

Maybe there is a use flag turned off that enables that?

I found this solution: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479660 (downgrade to <=x11-misc/lightdm-1.7.4)

Before that I tried this without success: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965-highlight-tips+consolekit+policykit.html.

Good luck ;)

I too had the same problem and could never seem to find a fix in the forums or elsewhere. Finally, I stumbled on this somewhere.

Put the line below in your SUDO file -- it fixed the issue for me:



%users ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/xfce4/session/xfsm-shutdown-helper


By the way, use visudo to edit the file!!! (No SUDO? emerge sudo).


Rgds,
