[XFce4] panel shutdown button not working

I just pacman -Syu'd for the first time in a loooooong time. Bad habit, I know. Anyway, it was relatively painless in the end, but there were a few annoyances that I had to fix. One of them I still haven't figured out.
I use XFce4, and the shutdown button on the panel (provided by the 'action buttons' plugin) stopped working. Clicking it now results in a dialog asking me whether I want to close the panel, rather than the familiar dialog with 'reboot', 'logout' and 'shutdown' buttons. Funny thing is, when I select the 'logout' option in the menu, this dialog does appear correctly.
Scouring the net for this problem yields a number of different solutions.  Strangely enough, everything seems to be configured correctly already.
- I have set up sudo to allow the execution of xfsm-shutdown-helper without a password.
- I have set up /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf to allow shutting down and rebooting the system for my username (as per this topic)
- I have included 'ck-launch-session' in my .xinitrc file, which reads "exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session".
Am I missing something? Are there any logs I could check for clues perhaps? I literally haven't the faintest idea what I'm doing wrong Thanks!

Checking on my other PC it does indeed look like /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf is no longer relevant. What is the relation between polkit and PolicyKit? Should I configure this somewhere else now?
R00KIE wrote:On my .xinit I have 'exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4' and things work as intended, I don't remember now if I have done any other change to make it work. I think you also need to have hal running so check that too (I guess you have it running as things were working fine before).
I guess the only difference is the 'dbus-launch', but that seems unrelated. I'll try adding it tomorrow anyway, just to rule it out.
Thanks for your reply, and sorry for not responding earlier, I lost track of this post.

  • Frames panel: looping button not working

    Frames panel: looping button not working
    I use Fireworks MX 2004
    Frames panel: looping button:
    When I set looping to 2, it stops after 2, as it should.
    All other values, i.e. 1, 3, 4 etc will go on 'forever'.
    What's wrong?
    Thank you for your help.
    Adrian

    This is just a simple exercise.
    http://www.tudo.co.uk/testing/looping_problem.png
    http://www.tudo.co.uk/testing/looping_problem.gif
    In the png file, Frames panel, bottom left, where I can set
    looping to
    any number, including 'forever', I set the looping frequency
    in this
    case to 1. So I expect it to stop after one movement up into
    the right
    top corner and return to bottom left.
    When I play this in 'original' or in 'preview' in Fireworks,
    the
    animation moves continuously instead of stopping after one
    round. That
    is my 'problem'. Or can I not expect this to work while it is
    still in png?
    When I export it to gif, it works exactly as wanted - once
    only.

  • Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

    logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
    I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
    Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
    any ideas?

    Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based.  Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
    Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop.  This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

  • Scrollable frames. Buttons not working.

    Hello.
    I have a problem with buttons in the scrollable frames.
    I have a slideshow with a thumb's. Each thumb consist of MSO (non active icon and active icon) and clear frame - button to that MSO and to slide foto. The thumb's grouped and placed into the frame with horizontal scroll overlay effect.
    That frame placed into another frame-pull out tab, which have vertical scroll effect. And when I pressed the button, slide fotos changes correctly, but button MSO not working.
    See files from dropbox --  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rsbf1jto3a39jug/IVcQxaYJOW
    Sorry for my english. I need help very much.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I understand that I can use two 'states'  of the buttons. And I tried it. But. Buttons renditions are raster images. And on the retina display we had bad quality. My target was to create vector buttons. With good quality on both displays.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi (again),
    It seems that you built your stuff in a very complicated way.
    First, try to make simple!
    You mixed MSO and buttons functions. Useless and unfonctional.
    Yous should use only button panel, with two different 'states' ('Normal' and 'Clic').
    See below (no MSO function used at all for the button):

    Use the layer panel to easily select the objects you want to modify.

  • Backup and restore buttons not working

    Hi,
    Any button in my backup and restore centre with a shield next to it (for UAC) is not working. Identical to this thread:

    A fair way down that page, Lokesh replies but I don't have any of the software that he mentions in his post. Is anyone able to help?

    Hi,
    According to the Lokesh's reply, this problem is probably caused by 3rd plugin in Windows Explorer Shell. UAC dialog couldn't be prompt correctly.
    To resolve this problem, you can try to use ShellExViewer instead to make troubleshoot, please follow the content of the link below for more details:

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is.

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • Iphone 4 home button not working, called never fixed, then cracked screen before bringing it back again, will they blame the cracked screen if i bring it back?

    I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you.

  • Iphone 4 volume buttons not working

    iphone 4 volume and mute buttons not working, checked all settings they are all fine and when headphones in it works??? When I take out headphones the volum buttons do not work, when phone rings or text receives only vibrates???? HELP!!!!

    This could be due to some debris or dirt inside the  headphones jack that makes the iPhone think that the headphones are connected even when they are not.
    Try to see if you can clean the jack being very careful, with canned air as sold in electronics store.  Some people have been successful by introducing and withdrawing the headphones jack several times in a row to displace whatever is in there if it is lodged in.
    Avoid introducing anything else like a pointed object.  You could damage the jack.
    If all of this does not work, I would try first resetting the phone by holding the home button and the power button together for about 15 seconds or until the whilte apple appears, then waiting until the phone resets.  If the problem continues after this, take it to an Apple Store to see what they believe should be done.

    thanks for your reply but I need more specific operation.
    maybe I am not very clear about the problem one. I mean when I run the code in standard mode, if I click the browse button, a window will pop out and I can choose a video file from my local harddisk. but if I run it in "web start execution" mode and "run in browser" mode. the browse button make no response when I click it.

    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.
