Description Ladislav Michnovic 2008-07-21 09:49:54 UTC 
Clicking on the Shutdown within XFCE menu do nothing and clicking on the Restart do logout but doesn't restart the computer. I have xdm as display manager as dafult.
Comment 1 Pavol Rusnak 2008-08-19 13:19:19 UTC 
Xfce just issues DBus message, which is processed with System D-Bus. It seems there is some problem with PolicyKit/DBus.

$ dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Reboot

Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot no <-- (action, result)

On another machine (KDM+Xfce):

$ dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Hibernate
method return sender=:1.1 -> dest=:1.174 reply_serial=2

I guess xdm lacks consolekit support so users are not considered as active.

mandriva patches against xdm 1.1.8

I was able to find patches from Mandriva that add console-kit support to Xdm. I think they are worth trying. See attachment (run configure --with-consolekit to build console kit support).
Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2008-08-27 02:49:17 UTC 
Pavol, why are these patches not applied upstream? Has this ever been discussed in the X.Org communitiy? Please open a bugreport on bugs.freedesktop.org (product: xorg, component: xdm) and add me (sndirsch@suse.de) to Cc. You need to register first. Thanks.

Comment 8 Pavol Rusnak 2009-09-09 14:34:25 UTC 
Are the patches mentioned by Takashi mentioned in the upstream bug already applied in 11.2? Bug #537364 suggests otherwise ... :-/
Comment 9 Pavol Rusnak 2009-09-09 14:35:05 UTC 
adding #528829 for reference
