Cinnamon - user applet shutdown/reboot doesn't work

Hey,

simple as that: seems like a permissions problem, anybody know how to fix this? I just switched from Xfce to Cinnamon, so kind of new to it...

Cheers

Re: Cinnamon - user applet shutdown/reboot doesn't work

How are you starting cinnamon?
What does the journal say?
Try

 journalctl -f 

before using the applet to see any messages that popup.
Also launch

 cinnamon --replace 

in a terminal to see debugging messages.

Re: Cinnamon - user applet shutdown/reboot doesn't work

Via "exec cinnamon-session" in ~/.xinitrc, same way Xfce used to get started. When I click "Quit" in the main menu applet, the same window (cinnamon-session --power-off) appears, but shutdown/reboot/suspend do actually work. Using the user applet, the screen just freezes and fans spin up, that it - I have to toggle my power switch.

Due to this, I can't see anything from "journalctl -f" after clicking shutdown. There's no info related to this problem in the journal anyway.

[klemens@arch-pc maple17]$ journalctl -f

Cinnamon's debugging doesn't seem helpful neither:

Can nobody help? Looks like shutdown also doesn't work when accessed from Cinnamon's menu...

Re: Cinnamon - user applet shutdown/reboot doesn't work

Hi. When you try to get help, you need to provide the Cinnamon version, otherwise will be dificult. There are a couple of changes related to this problems on the last  Cinnamon version, so it's difficult to know what really happen...
Here is the related code that involved the issue: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/b … Session.js
as you can see what realy occurs on the last version, it's a call to GnomeSession daemon, so if it's not worked please see if the daemon it's active or not and verify that you have all necessary gnome packages installed, to run the daemon.

Edit:
Also you need to execute the option that caused the problem, then the error will be registered  on cinnamon --replace otherwise nothing will be reported.
