Power off button does not work...

[vik123]

Hi All,

I have just installed the LXDE on my Debian system and i have a problem with the power off button. When i click on this button a window appears with the possibility to log off, hibernate, suspend or cancel. The "Turn off the computer" is missing...
Can you please to help me to get this useful option?

Thanks

Run the command

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy hal

to see if it is installed first, If it is not installed.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install hal

to install hal.

Or. Use aptitude if so preferred to install hal. Reboot, check shutdown menu then. That is how I fixed the shutdown menu in my Debian Testing AntiX 8.5 LXDE install.

I did everything as you advised and for some time there were o problems, but now it has dissappeared again... What can be wrong?

Sometimes when doing a upgrade things can be removed. I being a Debian Testing/Unstable user pay special attention to what gets removed during a

Code: Select all

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

command.

Do a

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy hal

to see if hal was removed. Maybe because of upgrade. Also. I froze my LXpanel to ver 1.6, because 1.7 lost my menu entries when panel was on top of screen.
