[SOLVED]Disable Shutdown and Reboot from XFCE

boriscougar · 2012-09-11 21:29:34

Hi all
I would like to disable the shutdown and reboot buttons from XFCE (4.10) or to do disable shutdown/reboot systemwide.
I searched for specific xfce instructions and all i could find was using xfconf-query[1] and afaik it can only disable hibernate and suspend buttons

Are those users members of the power group?

boriscougar · 2012-09-11 21:34:24

afaik i don't have a power group; my groups are:

# groups
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel log

#edit!
Sorry about that yes they are in the power group

Remove them, logout, and log back in.

I don't use Xfce, but this post seems to indicate you could add only users you want to be able to shutdown/reboot in etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc, and this would disable them for other users:

@nadman10
it had no change to remove my users from the power group
@2ManyDogs
Creating that file (/etc/xdg/xfce4/kiosk/kioskrc) and setting which users could shutdown solved the problem

Thanks for your time
