Hi


I have an issue with shutdown/reboot using LXDE systemd.

I have installed Linux pam, Polkit on top of lxde systemd, and when I
try to shutdown/reboot it asks for root password.

I have built this before the same way but never come across this.
Googling seems to point to polkit problem/bug, they give options to edit files. I have checked these files against my other 1,s they are the same
as I have, I reinstalled polkit made no difference

Does this happen when you shutdown/reboot through the menu
or on command line?
It happens from the lxde logout. From a terminal it would be root
anyway, which is correct.

If the user session is setup correctly, user can shutdown/reboot
on command line as well.

Check your X session:
$ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID
  as user

|loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID Id=1 User=1000 Name=spiky Timestamp=Sat 2016-09-03 08:52:34 BST TimestampMonotonic=17013282 VTNr=1 Seat=seat0 TTY=/dev/tty1 Remote=no Service=login Scope=session-1.scope Leader=2070 Audit=1 Type=tty Class=user Active=no State=online IdleHint=yes IdleSinceHint=1472889146699580 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 LockedHint=no|





Did you do that as root? If so try as spiky. I get

$ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID
Id=c2
User=1000
Name=thanos

Check if polkitd and polkit authentication deamons are running:
ps -ef | grep -i polkit
Yes polkit  deamons are running
spiky     2100  2070  0 06:51 tty1     00:00:00 lxpolkit

Is it the same on your working systems?

I recall that I had problems in the past because the
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d directory and it's contents
where not under polkitd user and group ownership.

  drwxr-xr-x 2 root    root 4096 Sep 2 20:46 actions
drwx------ 2 polkitd root    6 Aug 29 20:57 rules.d

There aren't any rules in rules.d.

There are ways listed on google how to hack around it, "edit files"
which I never had to do before.
Same polkit version on other machines as well, which works.
