I just tried it and it works. :-) With elogind running as a boot service, sddm launches with the Shutdown/Reboot buttons shown and they work as expected. However, as I do not have a /usr/ bin/loginctl, all I can assume is irrespective of the HaltCommand path specified in the default sddm config, when launched sddm searches all paths and eventually finds /bin/loginctl, which it runs when a button is pressed. As we've established with no -elogind +consolekit the commands specified in the default sddm config file are different. Also, with consolekit being a default rc service, it is running at the time sddm is launched. Thank you all for your responses. -- Regards, Mick
