=== Using Consolekit === | |||
Additionally, if not already done, [https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ConsoleKit consolekit] can be installed to perform root actions like shutting down or restarting system as non-root user from your Desktop Environment. | |||
Consolekit can be installed in the following way: | |||
sudo pacman -S consolekit-openrc | |||
The output looks like the following: | |||
$ sudo pacman -S consolekit-openrc | |||

To check that consolekit is running and a ck-session was started, the following command can be used: | |||
ck-list-sessions | |||
The output looks like the following: | |||
Session1: | |||
unix-user = '1000' | |||
realname = 'Aaditya Bagga' | |||
seat = 'Seat1' | |||
session-type = '' | |||
active = TRUE | |||
x11-display = ':0' | |||
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7' | |||
display-device = '' | |||
remote-host-name = '' | |||
is-local = TRUE | |||
on-since = '2014-06-15T13:29:58.652929Z' | |||
login-session-id = '' | |||
If you are not getting similar output, then maybe a ck-session is not being started by your display manager. Have a look at the [Openrc#Display_Manager Display_Manager] section for more info. | |||
If you start a graphical session from the command line, [http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1394#p1394 this forum post] may be of some help. | |||
