I also added
and modified
in each /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/allow_all_users_to_restart.pkla and /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/allow_all_users_to_shutdown.pkla
with no success.
Very strange.
If you still have elogind installed, it might be an idea to get rid of this package:
Code:
sudo apt-get install systemd libpam-systemd
sudo apt-get purge elogind (ignore the error)
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbian-update
sudo apt-get purge elogind (remove it again due to the previous error)
sudo start logind or reboot
In any case, the policy-kit settings are definitely not the problem
Thank You very much.
Sadly, no relief, did all this, but still the error remains.
I also tried
Code:
sudo apt install --reinstall xbian-package-xbmc
Reason lies in history:
While upgrading, I had several hickups and had to do
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Code:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
Code:
sudo apt autoremove
each several times. All of this was mentioned in dialog boxes or output of previous commands.
I finally ended up with xbian booting into command line, instead into kodi, which I could solve with
Code:
sudo apt install xbian-package-xbmc
Since that it started and worked fine and also had no more updates available in xbian setting inside kodi.
Beside the mentioned error, having no power down or reboot options in Kodi menu.
On more thing I checked: It is not disabled in the skin. I looked it up inside ~/.kodi/addons/skin.confluence/720p/DialogButtonMenu.xml and also changed the skin as a double check. All other skins I tried show the same: no power-off options in menu.
Any more ideas?
Also tried making a new profile inside kodi, with all new settings. No change, also in the brand new profile no power off options.
You could have said right away that the upgrade did not work properly.
So, first of all make sure that all packages have been installed
Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Maybe not all have been installed

Sorry, you're right. Since I ended up with a quite working system, and no upgrades left, I thought, finally the update process was successful and didn't think, that the hickups left any traces.

Also did that already before, forgot to mention. That was one of the things that made me believe, the upgrade finally worked.
Just did it again, it ends with:
Code:
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
So, would You agree, that the upgrade process itself went fine (finally, in the result view)? Or is there anything else that could be checked?
Normally xbian-update is installed again at the end of the XBian upgrade, to fix some things if necessary. At upgrade Stretch -> Buster this was necessary anyway. At Buster -> Bullseye I don't know, because it is done as well
Maybe
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbian-update
brings something
But I will be honest, I don't have much hope for this. Apart from that I can't think of anything else at the moment
Ok, thank You very much for the effort anyway.
Maybe, I'll live with it. I can coldly switch off the machine seemingly, no negative side effects until now.
I can't say how many changes you have made to your system.
But for most users it makes more sense to back up the home directory, then completely reinstall and get the home back. This is a very simple thing to do and is usually much faster.
For the sake of completeness:
I also had this phenomenon today with an installation. After a reinstall of xbian-update didn't help, I then ran
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall systemd libpam-systemd
and after a reboot everything was as it should be.
It seems that some maintenance scripts or whatever were not executed correctly

Thank you very much for this update. Tried it, sadly to no avail. The reinstall worked fine, but my error remains.
This is desperate. I also updated Kodi (xbian-package-xbmc) at the same time, but that won't have fixed the bug i think.

No, at least not on my installation, tried that before, see above.
Then unfortunately I can't think of anything else to say
It's been some time, but I actually managed to overcome the issue by combining some of the steps mentioned in this and some other threads regarding shutdown options being unavailable.
I tried:
Code:
apt-get install systemd libpam-systemd
Apparently, those packages were missing, as regular installation (without the --reinstall flag), worked.
This resulted in some packages being removed,
elogind and
libpam-elogind among others.
However, the issue persisted.
Then I thought about going back in the /var/log/dpkg.log* files, to investigate which packages might have been removed recently.
And apparently, a couple of weeks ago, I removed (unconsciously) a few important packages like
policykit-1, libsystemd0, systemd and libpam-systemd
So, the solution for me was:
first:
Code:
apt-get install systemd libpam-systemd
then
Code:
apt-get install policykit-1
I'm not sure, but I think I did a reboot and the shutdown menu was working again.
