policykit-1, consolekit, libpam-ck-connector, upower were all installed already. What I don't understand is why the shutdown/reboot didn't start working again when I reinstalled systemd, libpam-systemd and systemd-shim (and rebooted). PID1 is init, and /sbin/init is not a symlink. Also, libsystemd0 was not removed at any time. What does fix it is to do something dimkr had me do when I was testing alpha1 - rename/move /lib/systemd/systemd-logind. All the buttons work after that. fsr _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
