can't restart/shutdown system from sugar with olpc3

[dsd]

Running olpc3-17. Hovering mouse over XO icon and selecting the "Restart" option doesn't do anything at all (I'm returned to a fully functional sugar interface).

[dsd]

shutdown is broken too

[dsd]

sugar log showing exception

This is fixed in more recent sugar versions: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=sugar;a=commitdiff;h=508eb82f64eb1b8445779391c5959083a15085db

Dennis, any chance we could have a newer sugar tagged in the olpc3 stream?

[dsd]

we have a new sugar but things are still broken, different error, will work on this...

[dsd]

This is broken because HAL asks PolicyKit if sugar is allowed to mount removable drives, but PolicyKit says no. PK asks ConsopleKit if sugar is part of the active session, CK says no, and the default PK rules specify that only active users can mount stuff. We either need to modify the PolicyKit rules or properly integrate olpc-dm with ConsoleKit (requires some rearchitecting - Erik is looking into this).

I sent a patch here:

To test it, make sure that you don't have any other user logged in on the console. The current policy doesn't allow to shutdown in that case. It seems like we should tweak that policy for the XO since it's single user... but that's a separate bug.

Tomeu tested that it works in joyride.
