Re: [gentoo-user] xfce4 reboot/shutdown as a normal user
Sudo is configured to allow me to shutdown or reboot as a normal user from the command line, but it's not working from the xfce4 menu. Does anyone know how to get the xfce4 menu's reboot/shutdown options to work as a non-root user? - Grant See http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xfce4#Shutdown_or_reboot for how to do that. I'd suggest reading the whole wiki article as well, for other tips. PaulNM That's working great for shutting down, but rebooting seems to get caught in some kind of a loop or something. After going down for reboot the screen flashes several times and then displays the console as it looks right after boot-up but before xdm starts. The cursor next to login flashes but it does not respond to key presses. I am setting up xdm and gdm for the first time. Any ideas? - Grant Actually it looks like the same thing is happening with shutting down too. Does anyone know what might be wrong? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
