User name changed - no restart shutdown, suspend, hibernate

Post#1 by Rava » 05 Jan 2015, 01:03

Like with every new Port version, I tweak it to be not just guest at my PC, but "rava".

I now can no longer shutdown, suspend, hibernate or restart the PC via the XFCe menu.

I changed all "guest" entries in /etc/group to "rava".
Do I have to make similar changes in different files as well? I googled the issue and only found info about changing /etc/group

xfce panel menu > right click > panel > add new items > action buttons (in my case it calls it root, I work in root mode)

Will add a button with these functions on your panel.

I searched for "guest" in all files and subfolders in /etc and in /home/guest (my home dir that the running system uses is, of course, /home/rava) and only found the /etc/group entries I all changed from guest to rava.

I found no "guest" in /home, and so not found the "--with-ck-launch" in .xinitrc.
I try that and give you the heads up when I restarted X on one of my (currently 2) PCs with Ports running 3.1-x86-64. :friends:

(They are the only PCs x86-64 capable that I currently use, the other is the i486 Samsung sub notebook, I think about switching to a puppy varian since it is not powerful enough for Port, not the way I use Palemoon and whatnot. :D

hi rava i have formatted a key and put in porteus xfce with guest account i have all the power control button on my desktop,if you remove guest entry but you have to start with a new user named rava so maybe you have to add user named rava and remove guest user,ok seem like a gibberish,have sense for you?

Sounds a bit glibberish for me indeed. What do you mean with "I have formatted a key".

Me thinks it is some security key thingy? That some part looks for credentials that are only valid for "guest" and have to be created (by root me thinks) for any other user who should get the rights?

Have you tried these options? You don't need root password for reboot, shutdown?
You have mind and feelings. Be wise and clever.
