From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Desiable shutdown for users (lemmy.world)

Hello! Halt on Linux is disabled for average user by default. It will try to request sudo/root password and if fails returns:

sasha@fedora:~$ systemctl halt
Call to Halt failed: Access denied

How can I make same behavior for poweroff action? I know it is possible somehow via PolicyKit rulle

Thank you, it works! But I got weird behavior:

  1. User sddm also cannot execute poweroff (it is ok) but if I press shutdown button in sddm it will poweroff (not ok).
  2. If I press shut down in KDE Plasma I will get black screen and no sddm (I can restart it with systemctl restart sddm from tty and it will work again) How can I fix this bugs?
