Re: Xfce 4.3.99.1 -- can't shutdown or reboot PC from shutdown dialogue

are you featured in /etc/sudoers for shutdown or all with nopasswd?

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin  ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL

gives privileges to all in admin group. Just an example.

You need something like this:

%users ALL = NOPASSWD:<prefix>/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper

Use visudo for adding the sudo rule.

Hey, I forgot to try it.. but I can choose restart or shutdown, but it wants password (root and user passwd not work)

type visudo logged as root, and write these lines

user ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper

where user means your account, which do you want to allow to shutdown computer..
REMARK: xfsm-shutdown-helper is in /usr/sbin only in Debian distro.. if you have another distro, you need to
replace /usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper to /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper
