[SOLVED] Xfce: Reboot button closes session instead of rebooting

laisa · 04-19-2011, 09:00 PM

Hi. This is the first time I post here, so please excuse me if I do something wrong. I've recently installed Arch along with Xfce. So far, it's working pretty well, except for a couple of problems; one of them, is that the Reboot button on the end session dialog, only closes the session, instead of rebooting; the other buttons in that dialog work fine, though. Also, some of the keyboard bindings, such as Alt+f2 aren't working (I'm not sure if both things are related; added it, just in case).
The version of Xfce I've installed is 4.8.0. If you need more information, please ask me.

How are you launching your xfce session?

If you are using `startx` then you can add to your ~/.xinitrc the following:

Code:

exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

Some nice info here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ConsoleKit

Nop... I already had that line on my .xinitrc, and switching to use consolekit didn't help either... I'm still in the same place.

Ok, I have no idea how it happened... but the buttons just started working!
Thanks...
