Hi Israel, I have no idea how you got that from what I have written. My question has nothing to do with starting X. That is not a problem at all. The problem is that the logout menu shows the shutdown/reboot buttons, which I do not want unprivileged users to see. The logout menu is a part of LXDE, not the login manager (lightdm or slim). In particular the buttons are a part of the lxsession-logout package.
Having researched LXDE a bit more, it does not seem possible, and it seems that Lubuntu is not really an option for running a terminal server, without modifying code, which I do not want to do. I'm gonna go with XFCE instead. There I can set a policy with polkit, which will at least grey out the shutdown/reboot buttons (rendering them unclickable). Thanks for your replies and suggestions :) 2014-07-11 14:49 GMT+02:00 Israel <[email protected]>: > Hi Anders, > > You need to figure out how to automatically start X without using a > display manager like LightDM. > > > I am not sure if I have been unclear here, so I will go over things a bit > more. > LightDM is the login manager that has those 'pesky shutdown/reboot buttons' > SLiM doesn't have those pesky buttons, and is a login manager.
