Googling around it seems that it is a polkit related problem. I've tried
to do what is mentioned here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-mint-84/authentication-to-restart-and-turn-off-789357/
But polkit-auth --show-obtainable shows nothing.
I'm running gnome via startx, and the .xinitrc file looks like this:
export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
Could anybody manage to get this working?
Ok, the problem seemed to be gone after the addition of the gnome, polkit,
policykit, and consolekit use flags. I don't know which flag got it
working.
I have the same problem. The shutdown option disappeared as an option
from the menu about the same time as this email and a gnome release. It
just took a few months to get around to it. I have gnome built with
policykit (see below), but still no shutdown option. I have to log in
as root to shutdown properly.
# emerge -pv gnome
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-2.28.2 USE=cdr cups policykit
-accessibility -dvdr -ldap -mono 0 kB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
Also why doesn't alacarte have shutdown and some other stuff for adding
and removing in the main menu?
Shutting down from the gnome desktop would make things easier. How can
I get that option back?
Thanks,
