[PROBLEM] No power off options in Kodi Menu

[smirko]

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.
