Oblogout

addr · 2010-03-01 08:23:54

Restart and shutdown don't work for me using oblogout in OpenBox.

In /etc/.oblogout,

shutdown = shutdown -h now
restart = reboot

I tried changing this to..,

shutdown = dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Shutdown
restart = dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Reboot

...but no go.

Can someone tell me what I should be doing?

Hi,

what does the output of obloagout say if you run it from commandline?

owain · 2010-03-01 12:13:49

The following works for me:

shutdown = dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
restart = dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart
suspend = dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power" /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Suspend

sctincman · 2010-03-02 00:27:23

Perhaps a permission error? Might have to setup sudo and change .oblogout to use it to run those commands

wriggary · 2010-03-02 00:45:43

Two things I'd check would be:

Are you in the power group?
Are you launching your session with "exec ck-launch-session openbox-session"?

addr · 2010-03-02 12:54:14

wriggary:

Yes to both.

Owain:
Tried yours still no go

Doesn't work as root from CLI either.

I have found a bug posted here

Anyone got oblogout working? having same problems .... maybe edit sudo file...

anonymous_user · 2010-04-24 09:57:16

I haven't tried oblogout recently but it should be simple enough to add the commands to the sudoers file:

%wheel  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown
%wheel  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/sbin/reboot

Mr Green · 2010-04-24 10:27:44

Would be nice to get it working, GDM is way too massive for my small netbook

Added too sudo file but still no joy... error

you must be root to do that!

Followed wiki guide

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/All … o_Shutdown

Now seems to work....

Got to figure out nice login screen now

Thanks

MrG

knedlyk · 2010-04-24 12:56:23

Oblogout works perfectly for me. Add these lines to the end of /etc/sudorc:

%power ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
%power ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate
%power ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

You have to be in the power group. Good luck.

Still doesn't work for me...
gives the following error when either halting or rebooting:

I have added above lines to the sudo file with visudo, and I am in the power group.

Any more tips?

knedlyk · 2010-05-31 18:08:13

Do you have polkit-{gnome,kde,qt} installed?

There seems to be a problem with oblogout i think. Or the configuration of our systems.
The above commands work when I enter them in terminal. But not in oblogout.

polkit-gnome and polkit-qt, yes. polkit-kde wouldn't install, but I'm not sure if I want its 130 mb bulk added to my system, anyway. Anyway, polkit-gnome nor -qt seems to solve it.

x3nom · 2010-07-22 08:04:52

Has anyone solved the problem yet? I have polkit installed and I'm in power group, but still nothing.

I added to be false on usehal but i have problem still not work

$ oblogout

reboot: must be superuser.

Eddotan · 2010-09-24 00:14:41

it works for me, i have this in my /etc/oblogout.conf

usehal = false

[commands]
shutdown = sudo shutdown -h now
restart = sudo reboot

and then, i have my non-root user on /etc/sudoers like this:

your_username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/oblogout

and that's all... it works well for me.

@Kosava
hmm, make sure you have installed gtk-engine-murrine

pacman -S gtk-engine-murrine murrine-themes-collection

It clearly says "reboot: must be superuser" .

http://wiki.archlinux.fr/openbox-logout … 055239c5a0

The suspend line has been changed to this by the latest system updates
Bug report here.

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

zippy · 2011-02-17 18:00:20

For anyone else having issues, it looks like this package has been abandoned by the dev.
First, assuming you have consolekit and dbus running correctly --

Edit /etc/oblogout.conf
Change usehal=true to usehal=false

Change the shutdown and restart commands to
shutdown = dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
restart = dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart

As for suspending, I dont do it but the above command should work.

There's absolutely no good reason to have to edit sudoers to shutdown your machine if you are in the power group. It took me 2 minutes to research the correct dbus commands to shutdown and restart, instead of throwning the commands "shutdown -h now" and "reboot" into a script.

perfect.... worked a treat for me... thanks

Cloudef · 2012-06-02 13:43:29

There is also fixed oblogout here: https://github.com/Cloudef/oblogout-fork with bonus multimonitor support
Though, I haven't been using consolekit for ages now, so no quarntees it works still.

Hey there,

After watching at "oblogout --verbose" I could see that the values set in the /etc/oblogout.conf was charged but not used.

So I'm gone to see what the program was doing in /usr/share/pyshared/oblogout/__init__.py
After a bit of reading, i just saw what seems to be a fun mistake :

                if key[1] in ['logout', 'restart', 'shutdown', 'suspend', 'hibernate', 'safesuspend', 'lock', 'switch']:
                    if key[1]: setattr(self, "cmd_" + key[0], key[1])

Was wrong, because it was inverting the "key" and the "content". I just had to change that :

                if key[0] in ['logout', 'restart', 'shutdown', 'suspend', 'hibernate', 'safesuspend', 'lock', 'switch']:
                    if key[0]: setattr(self, "cmd_" + key[0], key[1])

And now, it works as expected.
The others that have oblogout working aren't using oblogout.conf to set the [command] section, you are just using hardcoded default values.
Or i did not get the same version of you guys (I get it from https://launchpad.net/oblogout)
