Hi, Having been through various attempts at fixing this problem on the forums here http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=12087 I believe that there may be a bug in GDM/Gnome. Attempts from a 'normal' user to shutdown or restart the system whilst logged into Gnome (via GDM) cause the xserver to restart and cause the following message to be displayed in /var/log/messages ... Apr 17 22:11:47 bobby console-kit-daemon[1263]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Attempts to shut down from the GDM login screen also cause the above message but the xserver does not restart. - Both the user 'gdm' and login 'gdm' exist. I have tried making the gdm user a member of both operator and wheel to no avail. - My 'normal' user can shutdown fine from a Terminal by doing a 'shutdown -p now' - The system shuts down cleanly when the front power button is pressed. Pressing [CTRL], [ALT] + [DEL] on a console causes a clean reboot. - avahi, hald and dbus are running. gnome is started from rc.conf using 'gnome_enable="YES"' - /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf is as follows ... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- --> <!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">; <!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format --> <config version="0.1"> <match user="root"> <return result="yes"/> </match> <define_admin_auth group="wheel"/> </config> - I have tried adding the following to /usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf ... [daemon] HaltCommand=/sbin/shutdown -r now RebootCommand=/sbin/shutdown -r now - procfs is mounted on /proc Any help / confirmation of whether this is a bug or just my computer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Nick.
