Shutdown Menu Wont After Upgrade

[frogprince]

A new one: I upgraded again this morning, and now when I try to shut down the machine with the panel logout applet, I get an error message:



GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1



So..given my record here, does the Sparky team need any code testers?.. :P

Have you followed this instruction already?

http://sparkylinux.org/lxde-systemd/

[frogprince]

Did that, and in the process another apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.   Rebooting after that upgrade left me with no icons or background on the desktop, and a group of error messages about failed dependencies for sparky initialization routines. I did a dist-upgrade -f and an additional forced update to intramfs, and now finally everything seems to work. One must pay careful attention to the error messages during the updates.

Hello Everyone,

I installed Sparky Open Box last night and did the updates and upgrades.
Having the same issue in the menu, the "Restart" and "Exit" functions are not working.

frogprince, could you elaborate on the commands you used to fix this issue.

Thanks,

[pavroo]

Hi
The "Restart" option restarts Openbox window manager only, but NOT the system.
To get some more info about the "Exit" option run in a terminal emulator:

Code Select Expand

wm-logout
and show me the output, please.
Tell me what is your Sparky Openbox version: i486 or x86_64 ?

pavroo,

I am using the i486 version. Here is the output from the wm-logout command:

david@sparky:~$ wm-logout
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/wm-logout", line 173, in <module>
    wmlogout = WMLogout()

Do you have installed package 'wm-logout'.
Show me the output:

Code Select Expand

sudo dpkg-query -l | grep wm-logout

[creole_cat]

pavroo,

I guess based on the output, I do not have this package installed:

david@sparky:~$ sudo dpkg-query -l | grep wm-logout
[sudo] password for david:
david@sparky:~$

[pavroo]

It looks like, you have the old logout script which does not work well.
Simply install the new one:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wm-logout

pavroo,

That corrected the issue. Thanks very much!!!
