Hi,
there is a SLES11 as KVM-Guest. Each time I select ‘Shutdown guest’ from KVM
menu, the server shows an message that the server wil be shutdown in 60
seconds. After this time I get an Window which asks for the root password.
I want the server shutdown via KVM without any questions.
OK, I can use an ssh login and shutdown, but …
Any hints?
Bernd
PS: libvirtd-guestd is installed
Hi
YaST → /etc/sysconfig editor and look in the displaymanager section
for DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN and change to all.

Hi, sorry for the late response but there where other time consumers 
Unfortunately, this is not the solution. It change not the behavior. I have
to edit the file /etc/polkit-default-privs.local and insert the lines:
org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown-multiple-sessions yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users yes:yes:yes
Afterwards run set_polkit_default_privs
This allow to shutdown a system running in runlevel 5 to shutdown.
BUT ONLY if there is somebody logged in on tty0. Wtf?
If tty0 shows the graphical login screen, I get a message window on tty0
that gdm-simple-greeter.desktop is still running. The dialog waits for a
manual choice and the shutdown stucks again :-{
/var/log/messages shows:
gnome-session[4042]: WARNING: Client ‘/org/gnome/SessionManager/Client4’ fa
iled to reply before timeout
gnome-session[4042]: WARNING: Unable to find desktop file ‘gdm-simple-greet
er.desktop’: Valid key file could not be found in search dirs
gnome-session[4042]: WARNING: Unable to find desktop file ‘gnome-gdm-simple
-greeter.desktop.desktop’: Valid key file could not be found in search dirs
Any hints?
