Hello,
after pacman -Syu I am missing those buttons. I have tried several way, i.e. click on logout button, run lxde-logout command, run lxsession-logout command ... It has been working correctly for several months, until update (maybe 2 weeks ago). I have tried to check for updates several times if it can help, but it doesn't.
In my .xinitrc I have:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startlxde
And I have also run
sudo gpasswd -a <username> power
There must be something else, can somebody help me?

You don't say which login manager you use (if any), but I suspect your login manager is now handling the console kit. Please try:
exec startlxde

Hello,
I am using SLIM. Where should I put
exec startlxde
?

Slim can now handle Consolekit sessions (since version 1.3 iirc). So try just putting "exec startlxde" in your ~/.xinitrc
Burninate!

I have this same problem. But I am using xfce4, not lxde. Slim starts up xfce4 just fine, but the shutdown etc buttons are disabled.
Edit: problem fixed by removing the ck-launch-session from the exec command in .xinitrc

Has anyone in this post having the problems checked to see if you can mount a pendrive, or a external usb drive?

I can now confirm that what Daimusou say's is correct I removed it from
/etc/slim.conf
line
login_cmd exec dbus-launch /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
Now everything is working fine. Does this mean that the ck-launch-session command is no longer necessary?

It means that Slim now handles console kit itself, which is what Gcool said. This can also be found on well over a dozen other recent threads on the exact same topic. It has nothing to do with the window manager, it is due to the (fairly) recent update of slim.

Sorry, I took What Gcool said as the method of adding the ck-launch-session command to slim.conf. I understand Gcool's post now that you have stated that.
