Hello,
I'm running freebsd12 using slim to launch kDE/Plasma5 and the restart/shutdown buttons have vanished. If I log in as root (i know, don't) they are there so I'm guessing is a permission problem. It used to work until I updated freebsd and rebuilt the out of date ports. I think that's when it broke. The computer spends a majority of the time on so what clued me in was when the screen lock and blank screen stopped working. I have not checked that functionality with a root login. I've been searching the net for solutions and have tried a bunch of the policykit rules but I haven't been successful in fixing it. Its interesting because I don't recall those buttons ever not working. After a fresh install it all just works. I'd rather NOT have to reinstall to fix it. My login belongs to wheel and operator so I know its not that, or at least should not be that. Does anybody have advice on how to fix this??? Please help!!!
Thanks,
