Description Jordyn 2016-08-24 23:30:28 UTC

I normally reboot using a custom command, and I can't set a custom reboot command in kickoff. So the reboot and shutdown options are just not there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open kickoff
2. goto leave
3. done

Actual Results:  
the reboot and shutdown options are just not there.

Expected Results:  
gave me the options

What is the result of:

qdbus --system org.freedesktop.login1  /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.CanPowerOff


also have you disabled "offer shutdown options" in system settings -> startup and shutdown --> desktop session 

Please reopen this when you reply.

This is the output of "qdbus --system org.freedesktop.login1  /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.CanPowerOff":
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited
Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

also I have "offer shutdown options" enabled

your setup is broken outside of Plasma.

you must have logind existing as it's trying to spawn it, but it's not loading properly (could be crashing on load, or could be you've done something to your setup.).

Unfortuantely that's all out of Plasma's control. Good luck.

Oh I have to use logind. I'm not even using logind, I'm using consolekit with sysvinit
