kdemod shutdown button missing in the menu

I have installed kdemod and not able to find the shutdown button

I see only logout, lock and switchuser, suspend to disk and sleep to ram

Can anyone suggest how to bring the shutdown button up

Re: kdemod shutdown button missing in the menu

don't think this has to with kdemod but rather to which groups to which the user account belongs. for shutdown i believe the user has to be a member of the group 'power' :

gpasswd -a {johndoe} power

I have added user to the power group

But still it does not appear

I found that kdm and gdm login manager shows the shutdown option

I am using slim login manager

That's pretty much the explanation. I haven't looked into it much, but my guess is it's related to slim starting things through ~/.xinitrc since I also don't get a shutdown options from a startx from cli. I don't know what gdm and kdm are doing that gives KDE that access though it might be possible to add that to slim.

You probably want something like

exec ck-launch-session kde4-session

in your .xinitrc (or whatever the kde session command is...).  My guess is this is a console/policy-kit issue...
