Description Brian Micek 2013-10-29 04:50:09 CET
Hello, this is my first bug I've reported here so I'd like to apologize in advance if I'm doing something incorrectly.   My goal is to help.

In Fedora 19, I do not have the option anywhere in xfce4-power-manager-settings to shutdown my laptop when the lid is closed, the power button is pressed or power becomes critical.  I do have these options in Fedora 18.  Without knowing much, this command seems to shed some light on things:

[root@laptop polkit-1]# xfce4-power-manager --dump --debug
---------------------------------------------------
       Xfce power manager version 1.2.0
With policykit support
With network manager support
With DPMS support
---------------------------------------------------
Can suspend: True
Can hibernate: False
Can spin down hard disks: True
Authorized to suspend: True
Authorized to hibernate: True
Authorized to shutdown: False
Authorized to spin down hard disks: True
Has battery: True
Has brightness panel: True
Has power button: True
Has hibernate button: True
Has sleep button: True
Has LID: True

Is there a simple workaround to enable me to be authorized to shutdown the system?

Thank you very much,
Brian

Seems to me like the policykit permissions have changed from Fedora 18 to 19 – or to put it differently: not like a problem in xfce4-power-manager.
Do you still have this problem?

Likely a configuration problem, closing.
