Package: xfce4-session
Version: 4.4.4-1
Severity: wishlist
The README file states that "if you have HAL installed on your system,
and your account is allowed to shutdown/reboot the computer using HAL,
you don't need to setup sudo at all".
This works only if:
- the user belongs to the powerdev group,
- xfce4-session is built against libdbus-1-dev which is not the case
currently (xfce4-session-4.4.1/xfce4-session/xfsm-shutdown-helper.c uses
dbus functions).
Could you please build xfce4-session against libdbus-1-dev ?
I rebuilt it on my box with dbus support and I can now shutdown/reboot
without sudo at all.
If libdbus-1-dev is installed, xfce4-session is build with dbus support
by default (according to configure file --enable-dbus is the default,
--with-shutdown-style=hal flag in the current rules file does not seem
to be considered). The only drawback is a new dependency (on
libdbus-1-3) and maybe dbus as 'recommends' (to have the dbus daemon
running).
This could also help a little with #379192.
Best regards.
