[SOLVED] Some problems with gnome and nautilus

hi ppl.

After a fresh install of archlinux and some pacman -S xorg gnome gdm <video-dirvers> and others pakages wich i like to use, i started to use my new desktop. But there are some little issues andi want to know if are bugs to be reported or some needed dependencie not installed, so here we go:

1) I can't shutdown my notebook using the Shutdown option under System menu.
2) That is a strange behaviour but i am using arch gdm theme and sometimes gdm use this theme, sometime not.
3) I'm trying to acces a windows machine o my network using nautilus. I click on the Network option, nautilus show me the "Windows Network" option and then "Windous Group" (HOME in my case) but if i try to list the machines on this group nautilus simple tell me that it's not possible to browse.I have samba and gvfs installed and running.

Some one can help me to fix this little things ?

Ty.

1) I can't shutdown my notebook using the Shutdown option under System menu.

A gpasswd -a myuser power solved this

2) That is a strange behaviour but i am using arch gdm theme and sometimes gdm use this theme, sometime not.

It's a gdm configuration. I was using random gdm themes and the default (and ugly) gdm theme was selected with my beautiful arch theme.

3) I'm trying to acces a windows machine o my network using nautilus. I click on the Network option, nautilus show me the "Windows Network" option and then "Windous Group" (HOME in my case) but if i try to list the machines on this group nautilus simple tell me that it's not possible to browse.I have samba and gvfs installed and running.

I'm using opendns. Take a look here to learn how to fix: http://www.opendns.com/support/article/148

Re: [SOLVED] Some problems with gnome and nautilus

The System -> Shutdown -> Shutdown was not working as expected. The problem is with the PolicyKit.conf. It is empty and need some rules like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->

<!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">

<!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format -->

<config version="0.1">
    <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
        <return result="yes" />
    </match>

    <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject-removable">
        <return result="yes" />
    </match>

    <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>

    <match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>

    <match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>

    <match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-options">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>


    <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>

    <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>
</config>

Now everything is really fixed.
