I did a large system update 2 days ago, and now the option to shut down the computer is missing from the "logout panel" in LXDE. There's only suspend, hibernate and logout options. I can shut the computer down using "sudo shutdown -h now", though. My user account is in power group. When I run "lxsession-logout", I get the error message '** (lxsession-logout:1486): WARNING **: dbus-interface.c:94: DBUS: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files' in terminal. I have the package upower and pm-utils installed. I don't have HAL and I don't plan to install that.
I'm not using any login manager.
Some info:
linux 3.5.3-1
lxde-common 0.5.5-2
lxdm 0.4.1-14
openbox 3.5.0-7
lxsession 0.4.6.1-1
lxpanel 0.5.10-1

Re: No shut down or reboot options in LXDE after upgrade
I think installing a display manager would eliminate your problem. I like lightdm:
.
Doing the no-install-recommends only adds 1603 kb to your system. This does replace the heavy, colorful backgrounds the few seconds when logging in and out with just bright one-color backgrounds.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends lightdm

Re: No shut down or reboot options in LXDE after upgrade
I already have a display manager installed: lxdm.
Re: No shut down or reboot options in LXDE after upgrade
Since you said you did not have a "login manager", I presumed you did not have a display manager since the display manager does the log-in. I have found lxdm to be a bit erratic. You might try re-installing or replacing it.
Re: No shut down or reboot options in LXDE after upgrade
Ah, actually it seems that lxdm is not used in my system. It was simply installed as part of the lxde package group in my Arch Linux setup. I don't want to use lxdm either, I'm just launching straight into lxde.

Re: No shut down or reboot options in LXDE after upgrade
I needed to install hal on my core install to get correct shutdown reboot menu gui to show up in my Debian Testing LXDE install.

I didn't have HAL before system upgrade and the reboot and shutdown buttons worked fine.

I see the same problem in Fedora Rawhide. I believe it's related to the problems with lxpolkit.

Re: No shut down or reboot options in LXDE after upgrade
Thanks for your links. I've read them, but what do you suggest me to do? HAL is deprecated in Arch Linux, so I don't want to install that.
