I see the same with lightdm-1.3.3-2 and lightdm-gtk-1.3.1-1 on Fedora 17. So it is not the Fedora releases that has changed but lightdm internals.

Comment 2 Sergio 2012-10-28 20:19:57 UTC

Sorry for my ignorance and spamming but reading this gnome-shell issue at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53905 I thought if it couldn't be some ConsoleKit induced conflict that disables the power options.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2012-10-29 20:06:30 UTC

confirmed with both -gtk and -kde greeters, I suspect some consoleKit fail going on, investigating...

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2012-10-29 20:50:22 UTC

apparently all ConsoleKit-related calls are returning insufficient permissions,

for example,
return ck_call_function ("CanStop", FALSE, NULL);

and even when I comment out the CanStop check, and allow the UI buttons to show, they don't work.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2012-10-29 20:53:18 UTC

Reassigning to ConsoleKit, any clues why lightdm greeter calls to ConsoleKit dbus methods 
org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.CanRestart
org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.CanStop
are returning false?

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2012-10-29 22:48:11 UTC

In the meantime, looks like implementing the lightdm systemd shutdown/restart bits may be worth doing now (bug #867924)

Comment 8 Kevin Kofler 2012-10-29 23:26:10 UTC

Yeah, as I said, ConsoleKit should already be dead and gone, LightDM needs to stop beating a dead horse (or worse, trying to ride it ;-) ).

Comment 9 Christoph Wickert 2012-10-30 09:18:01 UTC

Thanks for this insightful comment, I am sure it will help us fixing the problem.

Comment 10 Rex Dieter 2012-11-03 11:32:02 UTC

looks like it's a policykit thing, and Tim Lauridsen is the hero for figuring that out, see bug #872797
