New XBMCBuntu install won't shutdown or reboot
#1
I installed a fresh XBMCBuntu yesterday and got rid of my minimal Oneiric with XBMC on top. Everything is working just fine except for when I try to shutdown or reboot from within XBMC. Every time I try either of these I get dropped out of XBMC and into the WM login screen. If I drop to a terminal and issue either command, they work as they should. I'm guessing I need to add user XBMC to one or another group, just not sure which.

Having the same problem, anyone know the fix?

This one did the trick for me.
You may need to adapt the 2nd step to you configuration. In my case, the user that runs xbmc is called xbmc.

1- Install the upower package
Code:
sudo apt-get install upower -y

2- Create a file /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla with the following contents:
Code:
[Actions for xbmc user]
Identity=unix-user:xbmc
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.*;org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.*
ResultActive=yes
ResultAny=auth_admin
ResultInactive=yes

Hope it helps.

I have the same issue on a clean install of XBMCbuntu but I think it stated happening when I changed permissions of the "/usr" folder so I could edit some of the skin files. I will give this a try.
