well, I had already changed it back to the default when it didn't work for me. I could do another install I suppose.

I'd like to know how to edit the xfce menu and/or taskbar/tray to include /usr/local/bin/exitantix.sh. I see this thread has been resolved for you, but I need to get mine fixed. My shutdown button on the taskbar doesn't work at all. I do, however have a shutdown option if I use the menu, so my interest is in repairing the missing link for the icon on the taskbar.

easy enough to do. right click on the panel and choose add new items. add a launcher. add logout to the launcher, select"edit the currently selected item", where it says Command paste in"/usr/local/bin/exitantix.sh" in place of what's there. then you can remove the logout action button from the panel.

mizpa, also check your /etc/sudoers file to see if it has been changed.

I on't have the same panel that you have, apparently, this is XFCE and I don't have 'new items' etc. what I have when I right-click is 'tile vertically/horizontally, cascade, arrange, minimize all, hide all, undo, windows, refresh, about, logout' and that's it __{{emoticon}}__

any advice?

If there is an /etc/sudoers file posted, I'll be glad to compare them, but right now, I wouldn't know if anything has changed, as I've not used it at all - it's a new install of M11-full in place of the M11-base.

This is my /etc/sudoers using nano:

Code: Select all

# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the"visudo" command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL

%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt

%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot

%users ALL= /usr/sbin/pppoeconf

%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/fdisk

##%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rox

it doesn't sound like you are actually running xfce because none of that shows up in my panel.

I took care of the problem - removed XFCE and GDM, installed LXDE and LightDM all is better now __{{emoticon}}__

Thanks loukingjr.
Your instructions on the correction of the Logout problem in the XFCE4 are very clear and precise.
That did the trick. The Xfce logout screen was replaced by the AntiX default one.
It works fine.

I am pretty sure this is related to my problem in this thread: thunar-mount-eject-not-authorized-t3719.html

Slim just doesn't communicate to PolicyKit as it should. Which is why I suggest replacing it with LightDM or something in the next antiX release.
