I think I found a better method, via d-bus. The attached "reboot.py" works for me on Karmic/Gnome, could someone report if it works on other versions/DEs? (i.e. if "python reboot.py" reboots the PC without needing root privileges).
If it works, I'll try to send a debdiff for iTalc. ** Attachment added: "reboot.py" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35981455/reboot.py -- "power down" request fails on 9.04; logout instead https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
