Scared? Say scared.

I'm on to you and your themebobtropilus...

...and if that doesn't make sense, there's more from where that came from!

Yes, desktop-base provides the default theme from boot to the desktop.

My philosophy has always been to let Miyo be Devuan. I don't blacklist any packages in case a user wants to use them. The themes may be wanted by users...and yes, I also hack on the desktop base grub screen background and theme text.

I'll try it out of curiosity.

Run 'pam-auth-update' to enable elogind and disable consolekit.
Install: libpolkit-backend-1-0-elogind libpolkit-gobject-1-0-elogind
Log out/in

I've got xfce with lightdm working with elogind on one install this way. Other install is more elusive.

FWIW, there's a newer version of desktop-base (2.0.2) in ascii-proposed that supports lightdm (you'll get the purpy background on the login screen). Not sure why you'd want d-b for miyo unless you want devuan theming or you're hacking the alternatives system to add miyo theme.

Cool! I didn't know about that. I tried it, and just to be different I disabled consolekit instead of elogind, and after a logout/login, I can shutdown and reboot again. Tested with lightdm and lxdm. (slim wasn't affected by the problem)
CORRECTION: Disabling consolekit works with lxdm only, not with lightdm.

Yes...perhaps one day you'll attain enough knowledge to at least have a small glimmer of the pinnacle that I've reached in my vastly superior Linuxoctoprocitianism.

LOLOLOL!

Isn't there a way to blacklist a package? But then I suppose not having elogind could break other stuff like if someone is dual booting Miyo and KDE. You really should be interacting with the devs about this maybe on irc.

Okay. Not long after I removed the elogind packages and rebooted, I ran updates just to see what would appear, and the elogind packages were back again. I went ahead and installed them. Shutdown options stopped working again. So, I just stopped the elogind service from running.

To stop the elogind service, open your terminal, and enter...

sudo pam-auth-update

A window will open and show the various services. If you're unfamiliar with this type of window, use your arrow keys to move up/down the list. Use the space bar to mark/unmark a selection.

Remove the mark from the elogind service.

Use the Tab key to highlight OK.

Hit Enter on your keyboard.

Do a sudo reboot in the terminal, and after the reboot, the shutdown options will be back to normal. Now I need to figure out more about elogind...

Thanks for your help stanz. It is elogind causing the issue. It came along with the new desktop-base package.

For a quick'n dirty fix...see the next post.

~~Since you use Synaptic, open it up and search for elogind.~~

~~Right-click on it, and choose to mark it for removal. That will automatically mark another elogind package for removal. Next, mark libelogind0 for removal. Then Apply.~~

After those are removed, try your shutdown menu. It will only offer 3 options at the moment. If you choose Logout, you will be able to reboot from the login screen from the option in the top right corner.

~~...or...~~

~~use a sudo reboot from the terminal should work.~~

~~After rebooting, the normal Shutdown menu will be back and work again.~~

Thanks again for posting your output in the terminal.
