[SOLVED] All options except Log Out greyed out in Xfce4 & i3

The issue is what the title. For my desktop environment, I have xfce4-panel, and xfce4-power-manager installed alongside a mostly vanilla i3 configuration. I feel like one of my other issues, pressing the power button does nothing, when set to ask. I think this has something to do with permissions, but I'm not sure.

How are you starting it?

Edit:  I think it needs a working dbus session

Okay, I'd expect that to work sad 
That should instantiate a working dbus session.

I don't have any more suggestions, so I'll allow someone else to help out.   Sorry.

Et tu, Eric?

Can you 

systemctl poweroff # NOT! sudo - and obviously if thiw works the system will shut down and power off

But you'll likely require https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … 4-session/ and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xfce#U … ow_manager for the GUI stuff to work here.

I will test systemctl poweroff after this post, and I already have xfce4-session installed, and have checked the wiki page.

Note: I installed i3 first, and then got xfce4-panel only, plus a couple of panel plugins. Not the usual way to do i3 + xfce.

Re: [SOLVED] All options except Log Out greyed out in Xfce4 & i3

systemctl poweroff does what is expected, which is powering off a machine.

I might have found something important. Since I don't have any use for logging out my machine, I have never pressed the logout button, but I just checked it, and it tells me:

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.xfce.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

This error is pretty weird, as I already have xfce4-session installed.

Re: [SOLVED] All options except Log Out greyed out in Xfce4 & i3

Merely installing it doesn't cut it - you want to run an xfce4-session (but exchange the WM so it runs i3 instead)

The session is active (as it should™ be ;-) so the problem is really just about the xfce infrastructure.
