Shutdown/Restart dropping to login prompt - postman_pat - 2010-03-23
Whenever I select Shutdown/Reboot/Suspend (or press the power button on my MCE remote), my XBMC box drops to a standard linux login prompt.
As this is being used as an appliance, I'd rather it did shutdown as instructed.
Its an Acer Revo ION, originally installed as XBMC-Live. Then added XFCE, Mythbuntu-Control-Centre and setup MythBacked.
When I go into System Settings/Power the Shutdown options are $-1$ and $-2$ which looks a bit odd.
In the .lirc folder in the xbmc home account, there is a file for mythtv, but no lirc file for xbmc. (I would accept getting lirc to do a shutdown -h now) as a workaround instead of getting the xbmc controls to do it.
Your help is very much appreciated, this is my last remaining issue!
Regards,
Pat.

This is a permission problem.
From what I have seen in the forum this can happen for different reasons, but since you have added a lot of stuff perhaps you have the same problems as I. If too much gnome stuff is added I get permissions problem and usb mount stop working.
Does usb mount still work for you when in xbmc?

Will shutdown -h work? Will it not complain about not being root?

Quote:sudo apt-get install policykit-1 devicekit-power
sudo nano /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla
