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
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.

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
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.
