trying to get automounting of usb drives working on xfce, as discussed on |
| 4 |
a recent thread, i recompiled xfce4-session with policykit (polkit) and |
| 5 |
consolekit. eventually this got me automounting working, but in the |
| 6 |
process i lost the ability to shutdown or reboot the system from the exit |
| 7 |
dialog in xfce. it seemed obvious that it was a permissions issue |
| 8 |
involving polkit. searching the web i found instructions [*] that worked |
| 9 |
for me: create the file /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/power.pkla |
| 10 |
(the name isn't relevant as long as it's under that directory and has the |
| 11 |
pkla extension) with this code: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
[Local restart] |
| 14 |
Identity=unix-group:wheel |
| 15 |
Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart |
| 16 |
ResultAny=yes |
| 17 |
ResultInactive=no |
| 18 |
ResultActive=yes |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
[Local shutdown] |
| 21 |
Identity=unix-group:wheel |
| 22 |
Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop |
| 23 |
ResultAny=yes |
| 24 |
ResultInactive=no |
| 25 |
ResultActive=yes |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
[Local restart - multiple] |
| 28 |
Identity=unix-group:wheel |
| 29 |
Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users |
| 30 |
ResultAny=yes |
| 31 |
ResultInactive=no |
| 32 |
ResultActive=yes |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
[Local shutdown - multiple] |
| 35 |
Identity=unix-group:wheel |
| 36 |
Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users |
| 37 |
ResultAny=yes |
| 38 |
ResultInactive=no |
| 39 |
ResultActive=yes |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
you can change the Identity=unix-group:wheel line with a different group |
| 42 |
or a unix-user. since i'm the only user here, this isn't relevant for me. |
| 43 |

i hope this might be of some interest. |
