[SOLVED] xfce4-4.19 unable to shutdown or restart computer

Hi!

Recently with some update, i cannot restart or shutdown computer from xfce any longer.
The error that is spit out is:

gdbus.error.org.freedesktop.policykit1.error.failed: process not found

In the .xfce4-session.verbose-log.last:
TRACE[xfsm-startup.c:1120] xfsm_startup_child_watch(): Client Id = 262a0be6d-d253-44c2-9c85-d79325379ba8, PID 26948 exited with status 0
TRACE[xfsm-startup.c:1129] xfsm_startup_child_watch(): Client Id = 262a0be6d-d253-44c2-9c85-d79325379ba8 died while starting up
TRACE[xfsm-startup.c:1162] xfsm_startup_handle_failed_startup(): Client Id = 262a0be6d-d253-44c2-9c85-d79325379ba8 failed to start
TRACE[xfsm-manager.c:397] xfsm_manager_handle_failed_properties(): Client Id = 262a0be6d-d253-44c2-9c85-d79325379ba8, reached maximum attempts [Restart attempts = 6]
   Will be re-scheduled for run on next startup

Known error? Another regression in 4.19 series?

Thanks in advance for any help

Do you have a policykit agent installed? policykit-1-gnome

Re: [SOLVED] xfce4-4.19 unable to shutdown or restart computer

yes, and i narrowed the problem down to just that.
Problem apparently arose with polkit version 124, when downgrading to 123 it works again.

So if this is because of a bug with polkit or something else, for example a change in polkit that needs a change in xfce4-session i don´t know but regardless i mark this as "solved".
