Shutdown and root passsword

tompravi · 2017-05-06 08:19:57

Hi,
When I try to shutdown the system asks the root password.
How could I avoid this?

fsmithred · 2017-05-06 10:52:00

You'll get that if root is logged in on console or in a root terminal or if you're running some app as root.

Thank you for your response.
Is there any solution of this issue?

Possibly in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy, change "auth_admin_keep" to "yes" where appropriate, not sure this is the best way or recommended way but I imagine it will work:

How are you trying to shut down? If you're working in a graphical environment, a reasonable login manager should solve the problem since it would normally be running with root privileges.

Alternatively, if you have sudo installed, you can also set up a rule in /etc/sudoers or create your own file in /etc/sudoers.d/ (which is probably the better way) and then use

sudo shutdown -h

You can configure sudo not to ask for your password, too.

But make sure you use visudo to edit the file and get a basic understanding of what's going on in /etc/sudoers if you don't know that already.

KShutdown works well for shutting down the system even in devuan ascii.

its the only app from the devuan repo which works for me in ascii for shutting down system.

smoki · 2017-05-29 19:15:53

With ck on Devuan 1.0, as a user proper commandline should be:

Shutdown:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop

Reboot:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart

No additional dependencies again, for those who like

I don't use Suspend/Hibernate but these should go with UPower, so something like...

Suspend:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

Hibernate:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate

Nice explanation. But, need to install the polkit package.

I tought policykit-1 is installed by default

Yes, Restart/Shutdown commands require 'policykit-1' package to be installed, Suspend/Hibernate require 'upower' package also.

Thinked of as zapper mentioned KShutdown that GUI require a lot of packages/deps, there is also i think 'obsession' gtk2 app can do this also... but if someone like OP mentioned don't use/want a GUI that is it

Topic interesting this one. I thought to try kshutdown on my minimal setup.
WOW just Cool! I didn't imagine that would bring so many goddess

Edit: Oh just i see now this is a KDE tool right? Isn't for me anyway...

I'm better staying with sudo shutdown or do not exclude the possibility of installing policykit-1. Afterall i used previously on Debian jesssie and i was pretty happy. policykit-1 wants to install only 6 packages in the end. Good solution looks to me.

If you want an alternate shutdown system, I have tested Obsession extensively in both Openbox and Mate and it works great. Super easy to make keyboard shortcuts using obsession and get one click shutdown, suspend, hibernate etc.

Nili · 2017-05-31 19:04:24

First time to hear about obsession. I'll give a check definitely. Thank you greenjeans! This looks very minimal, only one package to install.

Edit: obsession looks like an openbox helpful shutdown tool while i use a tile wm, I have no other choice than using policykit-1 or edit my /etc/sudoers.

PC hardware have poweroff/restart buttons, these are simple buttons - you press that usually just with one finger and it did the job.

So why in the hell someone needed 500+ packages on top of basic system, just to provide same functionality with that KShutdown

well it's the only way I have found to shut it down until they fix the issue that doesn't let the menu shutdown option work.

I will look for other ways though if you wish... to add to this list. heh.

I'm better staying with sudo shutdown or do not exclude the possibility of installing policykit-1. Afterall i used previously on Debian jesssie and i was pretty happy. policykit-1 wants to install only 6 packages in the end. Good solution looks to me.

Yeah... I just tried sudo shutdown and it worked. I will just say, ignore all my kshutdown comments, sudo shutdown is better. hehe.

Still not as quick and cool as merely hitting alt+p and getting a quick 3 second shutdown.

Ofcourse that will work, It is the basic shutdown command of the system. I'm still using this one, but what greenjeans says is correct

sudo shutdown is it not so practical even i'm using it. policykit-1 tool with a config shortcut like alt+p It's more simplicity.

I just hope someone wouldn't come and say here is a AppImage, Snap, Flatpak... package to do a shutdown

I have mapped it to what i don't use and can't easely press it like ctrl+super+alt+del for reboot or end for shutdown.

I just tied keybindings to obsession commands, obsession-exit is the cli executable i.e. : obsession-exit -p = poweroff/shutdown

zapper · 2017-06-02 22:08:51

alt + p didn't really work for me so I am assuming it is a glitch of the testing version.

Well it won't work unless you specifically bind those keys (or any other combo of keys) to that command. Alt+p works in my system because I made that keyboard shortcut as well as the others. Just need to figure out where to change keybindings in your system and tie keys to the obsesssion-exit commands.

mate@vuudomate:~$ obsession-exit --help
Usage:
  obsession-exit [OPTION...] 

Help Options:
  -h, --help             Show help options

Application Options:
  -p, --poweroff         Shutdown the computer
  -s, --suspend          Suspend the computer
  -H, --hibernate        Go to Hibernation
  -r, --reboot           Restart the computer
  -c, --capabilities     List power capabilities

Possibly in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy, change "auth_admin_keep" to "yes" where appropriate, not sure this is the best way or recommended way but I imagine it will work:
