[Linux] User not able to launch xbmc after policykit install and config
#1
Hi!
While trying to allow my user to shutdown the system from xbmc, I think I messed up something. I installed policykit (on a gentoo system) and issued the following:
Code:
polkit-auth --user gaggio --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot
polkit-auth --user gaggio --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown
polkit-auth --user gaggio --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot-multiple-sessions
polkit-auth --user gaggio --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown-multiple-sessions
The system is setup to autologin the gaggio user, then launch fluxbox with the following startup:
Code:
/usr/local/sbin/atvclient -b -m &
xbmc &
exec fluxbox
Now, after the policykit install and config, fluxbox is started and nothing happens. In particular xbmc doesn't start and the apple tv remote does not control anything, that means that the atvclient is not started. Note that it was working perferctly before. I also tried to remove the atvclient line, but xbmc still doesn't start.

It seems like my user lost authorization to run applications, do I need to restore the permission in some way? Which log file should I look into?
Any suggestion would be really appreciated! Smile

Thanks,
Gaggio
