Bonjour,
Up to yesterday, I was allowed to shutdown and hibernate my machine as a simple user.
Yesterday a powercut while the machine was up suppressed this feature.... I don't understand why.
How can recover this feature?
Thank you

Using the gui or the command line?

How are you trying to do it and what happens?

I use xfce and in the panel there is tab with the user name, using this you can shutdown, hibernate or lock the session. Now shutdown and hibernate are greyed and I can't use them. I have to become root in a terminal and use the command init 0.

I have no idea about the way to recover... That's why I am asking this question.
Thank you for helping.

Crtl-Alt-Del should give you a selection of options including logout and restart (at least I assume so, though I haven't used XFCE).

What happens if you run "shutdown" or "reboot" in the terminal as your user? And if that doesn't work, then what happens if you do that as root?
