I remember when testing for mageia 3 isos we had an issue with these options not being offered which was due to policykit not starting. It isn't currently starting either (see bug 11159) but the options are offered now and once policykit is started they still do nothing.

OK, so this is really just about logind. In lxsession, it starts by asking logind via dbus whether it can shutdown and invokes the appropriate code thereafter. Looking at the source, I can see obvious errors. The GError structure is passed around uninitialised and even the function prototypes do not match their implementation. This is horrible code :( Just running the lxsession-logout binary manually clearly shows the assertions in the glib dbus code which checks the error structure. Seems it was broken in https://github.com/lxde/lxsession/commit/2b9a246046eea0bb5130a63f7476b81ceaafd1fd which was clearly not tested. It's since been reworked at lot and I don't have time to poke at this, so just wrote a very quick patch to make things work with the current setup. Should be resolved in next build. Ugg.

Thanks for sorting this one out Colin, it's been problematic for a while now.
I had this problem and I solved it as follows: apt-get purge systemd --------------------------------- then your system will revert to using consolekit which apparently the buttons need. It had me stumped for a while because the buttons worked on 3 of 4 boxes that I installed LXDE but not on the 4th box.

(In reply to mike marmer from comment #11) > I had this problem and I solved it as follows: > apt-get purge systemd > --------------------------------- Erm, this is just so wrong it's not even funny! 1. apt-get is not a native Mageia command. 2. If you remove systemd, you can no longer boot on Mageia as it's the only supported init system. > then your system will revert to using consolekit which apparently the > buttons need. ConsoleKit is legacy and is not even shipped on Mageia any longer so this is doubly wrong. > It had me stumped for a while because the buttons worked on 3 > of 4 boxes that I installed LXDE but not on the 4th box. It's still the wrong solution. Instead of burying your head in the sand, try fixing things *properly*. I fixed the problem in Mageia by actually understanding the problem and fixing it at the code level. It needs further fixes to properly adapt to logind, but your "fix" is anything but! It's a totally unsupported and invalid fix! For reference the fix is here: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=549605 It's also not a "Works For Me" resolution but a "Fixed" one. Please do not mess about with already resolved bugs and change the status and meaning of the resolution.
