Your using testing is not the problem. It is most likely the presence of consolekit on the system which is the issue. A neat way round consolekit and startx not getting on together is given by Liam O'Toole in this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/08/msg01564.html Basically it involves dealing with policykit directly rather than through the mediation of consolekit. You will need three .pkla files: one for upower (suspend and hibernate), one for consolekit (shutdown and reboot) and one for udisks (mount). The manual page for pklocalauthority is helpful but ask again if some details are unclear. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
