1 Hi all,
2
3 I'm reading on the internet that systemctl poweroff should work for
4 normal user if he is the only one logged in, he is logged in locally
5 and his session is active. I seem to be meeting these conditions:
6
7 # loginctl
8    SESSION        UID USER             SEAT
9          2       1000 lukash           seat0
10
11 $ loginctl show-session 2
12 Id=2
13 User=1000
14 Name=lu
15 Timestamp=Sat 2016-01-16 17:27:30 CET
16 TimestampMonotonic=9614418
17 VTNr=7
18 Seat=seat0
19 Display=:0
20 Remote=no
21 Service=lightdm
22 Desktop=awesome
23 Scope=session-2.scope
24 Leader=529
25 Audit=2
26 Type=x11
27 Class=user
28 Active=yes
29 State=active
30 IdleHint=no
31 IdleSinceHint=0
32 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0
33
34 But invoking the command gives me:
35
36 $ systemctl poweroff
37 Failed to set wall message, ignoring: Access denied
38 Failed to power off system via logind: Access denied
39 Failed to start poweroff.target: Access denied
40
41 How is this supposed to work on Gentoo?
42
43 Thanks in advance,
44 Lukas
