Description of problem: After installing Fedora 17 Alpha (RC4) the options to 'Restart' and 'Shut Down' are greyed out when I click the 'Log Out' menu item. I never did anything special before to get this working in Fedora 16. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -qa | grep xfce4 xfce4-power-manager-1.0.10-3.fc17.x86_64 libxfce4ui-4.8.1-2.fc17.x86_64 xfce4-mixer-4.8.0-3.fc17.x86_64 xfce4-session-4.8.3-1.fc17.x86_64 libxfce4util-4.8.2-2.fc17.x86_64 xfce4-doc-4.8.3-5.fc17.noarch xfce4-appfinder-4.9.3-2.fc17.x86_64 xfce4-panel-4.8.6-4.fc17.x86_64 xfce4-session-engines-4.8.3-1.fc17.x86_64 libxfce4util-devel-4.8.2-2.fc17.x86_64 xfce4-settings-4.8.3-4.fc17.x86_64 libxfce4ui-devel-4.8.1-2.fc17.x86_64 xfce4-icon-theme-4.4.3-6.fc17.noarch xfce4-panel-devel-4.8.6-4.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Seems always. I have noticed this on a couple installs now Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 17 2. Start an Xfce session 3. Click Log Out Actual results: Restart and Shut Down are greyed out. Expected results: Restart and Shut Down are not greyed out and function as expected. Additional info: This works without any additional configuration in F16.
OK, searching on Google told me I should install ConsoleKit and that seems to have fixed it.
Probably an unintended consequence of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ckremoval
Yeah. We are looking at switching login managers...which would make that not needed, but it's not landed in time for alpha. Sorry.
Same problem in Fedora 17 beta. Log Out is OK, but Restart and Shut Down buttons are grayed out. I hope...

I boot from this 193 MB image: http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/fedora/linux/development/17/i386/os/images/boot.iso I use custom package select, I checked Gnome and Xfce desktop environment. Clean install, not an upgrade.
ok. I didn't fix this in comps, only the kickstart file. Should be fixed now. If you manually do: yum install ConsoleKit does everything start working?
This distribution leave ConsoleKit. This is not problem?
A long term one, sure... but not a short term one. For now we still need ConsoleKit and it's still shipped.
OK, thank you! I installed ConsoleKit, and solved my problem.
Great.
