No shut down choice

[xwwu]

Hi! Every one:

FreeBSD 7.1-release installed on atom 330 motherboard. When I click
System -> Shutdown, the available operations are:

Suspend + Hibernate + Cancel.

No shutdown at all. Even there's a sentence said to me:

This system will be automatically shut down in 60 second.

But actually, nothing happen.

Why and how?

Thanks!

I think that xfce needs hald (sysutils/hal) running

[xwwu]

Thanks for your reply. But my windows manager is gnome instead of xfce.

Gnome needs HAL too.. Not sure about the shutdown but for mounting CDs a user must be a member of the operator group.

Oops, sorry!
I mixed some threads, I was just awoken.

Is your user in the operator group?

[xwwu]

Yes. in operator.

And are dbus and hald running?
How are you starting gnome?

[xwwu]

dbus and hal are running and gdm installed for gnome.

Hi all,

I've got a similar problem.

I upgraded to Gnome 2.24. dbus and hald are running and my user is member of wheel.

When I choose shutdown nothing happens. It worked fine under 2.22

Any ideas?

To everyone having this problem with Gnome, try re-compiling gnome-session:

# portupgrade -f gnome-session

I was having this problem also. Reinstalling gnome-session didn't work for me.

I noticed that /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald has:

# REQUIRE: DAEMON usbd devd dbus moused

Then I remembered adding these lines to /etc/rc.conf based on the 20090123 entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING:

moused_enable="NO"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"

So, I took these lines out and I get all the buttons on the shutdown dialog now. I haven't tested them all yet, but this is progress.
