lightdm Suspend/Hibernate/Restart/ShutDown disabled in greeter

I've installed xorg-driver-video, xorg-driver-input, openbox, lxsession, lxde-common, lxpanel, pcmanfm. The lightdm-gtk-greeter starts and I'm able to log in.

Prior to logging in, there is the greeter menu bar with the power icon and its menu items Suspend/Hibernate/Restart/ShutDown which all are disabled.

I'd like to enable these and to be able to select them without being logged in. What is to do?

Somewhat more detailed would have been nice.

Adding session optional pam_elogind.so to /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter enables the menu items. See Debian Bug #932047 (lightdm: greeter session support for elogind).

Actually it is a missed systemd dependency that should be corrected.

Instead of session optional pam_systemd.so there has to be session optional pam_elogind.so.

This is fixed in chimaera/ceres: https://git.devuan.org/devuan/lightdm/s … /changelog

The fix is also in beowulf-proposed-updates and will be in the 3.1 point-release.
