PolicyKit is definitely installed. In MythTV, the "Exit & Shutdown" button calls the script '/usr/share/mythtv/myth-halt.sh'. It contains the following line:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Shutdown Now it seems obvious - this ONLY happens when I'm also logged in through SSH (which explains the whole 'multiple user' thing) However, it doesn't prompt to auth as admin (the user running as GUI is a sudoer). When I tell MythTV to shutdown, it exits back to the desktop. When I select shutdown from the xfce menu, it displays the following message: Unable to perform shutdown org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown-multiple-sessions auth_admin <-- (action, result) -- mythbuntu: can't shutdown from MythTV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
