[SOLVED] How do I shutdown from SLIM ?

glenn69 · 2012-04-26 16:17:25

I am using SLIM to login to Fluxbox. I should be able to type halt as username from within SLIM to shutdown. Typing halt as username does not shutdown. I have set sudo to allow my user to shutdown, but that doesn't help.

How do I enable shutdown from within SLIM?

Thank you

Does it work with root password?

SLIM needs the root password, if you follow carukia's instructions. Nothing more. Shutdown, reboot, it's all built in.

Yep, it sure is. I was entering my USER password .... I guess all that sudo usage went straight to my subconscious. Thanks
