[solved] Shutdown and Mount problems

Hello Arch-community

I did a fresh webinstallation with xfce.
Everybody seems to be running fine, expect this rights problem with shutdown/reboot and mounting CDs and other partitions.

This is my ~/.xinitrc:

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4

The daemons look like this:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network netfs crond dbus hal networkmanager)

My user is in the following groups:

lp wheel games network video audio storage scanner power

I also added the code from the HALs-wikipage to /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf - However the folder didn´t even exist and I had to create that file.

And I can´t seem to find any other solutions =/

I hope you can help me...

Add yourself to the "optical" group to help solve your mounting CD problems.

HAL is outdated, how about remove it and also rename the /etc/PolicyKit folder to /etc/PolicyKit.bak in case it cause conflict.
Somehow I can mount usb drive out of the box without any configuration.

Re: [solved] Shutdown and Mount problems

Maybe you are using the /etc/inittab method for autologin?

No, I was using the ~/.bash_profile method. I tried commenting it out and starting xfce manually after login with the same problem.

However, while rereading the wikiarticle I decided to use slim, which solved my problems.

Thank you for yor help, everyone!
