KDE misses the shutdown and reboot buttons

I don't have the buttons of reboot and shutdown in the kickoff menu !!!
I only have the Sleep and Hibernate buttons.

this is my sudo configuration

sudo -ll
Voce sudoers:
    RunAsUsers: ALL
    Comandi:
        ALL

i should have all permission, therefore even shutdown and reboot the system, isn't?

Info:
Linux arch 3.6.11-1-ARCH #1 and KDE: 4.10.00

Re: KDE misses the shutdown and reboot buttons

I think that those commands are the responsibility of KDM so I'm not sure what you would need to do to have them feature in the menu.

Can you shutdown/reboot at the command line OK as your regular user?

I had a similar problem with xfce once; I just had to add the reboot and shutdown option to the menu to have them easily accessible.

I haven't used KDE myself but you should be able to do the same there, either by right-clicking somewhere on the menu in question or by digging through the KDE config stuff, whereever they might have put that option.

Re: KDE misses the shutdown and reboot buttons

I've read a  Bridge Linux review late December, where the reviewer had the same problems with the KDE version.

http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.nl/2012/ … h-bit.html

I know Brigde is not the same as genuine Arch, but maybe some of the comments could be helpfull.

Re: KDE misses the shutdown and reboot buttons

Since you are using systemd, are you able to run systemctl reboot or systemctl poweroff?

You might switch from KDE to something else and keep on using slim wink

Re: KDE misses the shutdown and reboot buttons

As I read that report, there is no solution. Judging by the linked bug at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186198, it should now work with GDM as well as KDM but it is not currently set up to work with slim.
