You might have mis-configured ConsoleKit/PolicyKit in such a way that it doesn’t allow unauthenticated users (i.e. the login screen) to shut down the system. However, I have no idea how to fix that :) Best, Claudius Hi Claudius, Apologies for the extended delay in responding. I was just able to get back to this issue this evening. You were on the right path. I actually needed to install policykit-1 and it's dependencies, and I now have the power options available on the login screen. Thanks, and all the best to you as well!

I did compare the full dpkg list on this system and another system that installed all of the task recommends, and I don't see any power related packages that are missing. This is not a do or die situation, but I would like to understand what I may have missed. I appreciate the suggestions.

lightdm login screen minor issue
Good evening, I am trying to install a minimalist install with an XFCE desktop environment on an old laptop. I did a clean install of wheezy, and deselected all tasks during the install. I then booted and launched aptitude with the --without-recomends option, and installed the task-xfce-desktop task. The resulting environment was a bit less than I wanted, but I was able to get everything going, with one minor exception. At the login screen, there are two buttons in the top right-hand corner, one for switching hi-contrast and large fonts on or off, and the other for restarting or shutting the system down. That power button has no functionality to it. When I click on it, a blank panel opens and there is nothing to click on. I am at a loss trying to figure out what drives that missing functionality. Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction? Thanks, Craig Sent - Gtek Web Mail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
