In the fluxbox menu i've now 3 shortcuts using gksu and all work!

SUSPEND:
Code: [Select]
gksu "qterminal -e pm-suspend"&exit
REBOOT:
Code: [Select]
gksu "qterminal --execute reboot"
SHUTDOWN:
Code: [Select]
gksu "qterminal --execute halt"

PS. May be it's an overkill to ask for pswd to go to suspend; but practically it can be done too or by closing the lid or by (default for the HP Pavilion) keyboard shortcut (FN+F5).

Thanks for sharing this with us.

But for all those shortcuts to work you need to issue the *root* password. Shutdown/reboot with acpid does not require a p/w.
Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

True, and i'll look closer to the acpid scripts in the near future. Generally, i don't mind to have to put in pswd for shutdown or reboot in a prospective of security

Oh, since i'd problems with an installation the firestarter nox (graphics completely distorted) i studied a bit the manual. And what did i find? :shock:

Under the title: siduction-*.iso - Live Mode root password there is written:

Code: [Select]
To set a (temporary) root-password

Open a console/ shell:

siduction@0[siduction]$ sudo passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
siduction@0[siduction]$

I have been building for a long time now and have yet to see sudo work out of the box on a clean install (live cd does not count)


Even in live mode, I still don't/won't use sudo
