If this can help, I don't use any display >manager like GDM, XDM, SLIM, etc. I start Xfce with startxfce4. yeah, happens here as well. And I also don't use any display manager, just logging in into the console and then start Xfce by startxfce4. So this might be related? I also tried playing around with /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf but it didn't change anything. The current version is attached just in case someone is interested. (my user is member of the 'powerdev' group) To get some debug info, I stopped the hal daemon and restarted it with: /usr/sbin/hald --verbose=yes --use-syslog The relevant messages when trying to shutdown the system are attached in the file hal.log. It seems the following message is quite interesting: [W] ci-tracker.c:366: Error doing GetSessionForUnixProcess on ConsoleKit: org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '2465' Process 2465 was xfce4-session. The only related messages in ~/.xsession-errors were: ** Message: xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:268: Using HAL to shutdown/reboot the computer. ** (xfce4-session:2465): WARNING **: xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:234: Failed to contact HAL: org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown no <-- (action, result) I'm on Debian Testing with: ii consolekit 0.3.0-2 ii hal 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 ii hal-info 20090309-1 ii libhal-dev 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 ii libhal-storage-dev 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 ii libhal-storage1 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 ii libhal1 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 ii libpolkit-dbus2 0.9-3 ii libpolkit-grant2 0.9-3 ii libpolkit2 0.9-3 ii policykit 0.9-3 Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc
