| teb007est | Can you install Linux in Live Rescue Mode | 04:25 |
| teb007est | Terminal | 04:26 |
| teb007est | Hello | 04:29 |
| teb007est | Anyone hrre | 04:29 |
| teb007est | Here | 04:29 |
| Iolo | Can I enable my normal login user account to do "systemctl poweroff" and "systemctl reboot" without having to use sudo? | 09:52 |
| brainwash | Iolo: what error do you get when not using sudo? | 10:03 |
| Spass[m] | Iolo: normal users can still use "xfce4-session-logout --halt --fast" or "xfce4-session-logout --reboot --fast", but I don't know if that solution is good enough for you | 10:04 |
| Iolo | brainwash, sorry, I should have been more clear. I don't get an error, but it still asks for my password. I want to be able to do this "as-if" I had used sudo. That is to say without having to give my password. | 10:18 |
| Iolo | The reason I want to do this is so I can start a long-running task to be executed as my regular user, after which the computer powers off in my absence without ever asking for a password. | 10:25 |
| brainwash | Iolo: if no one here knows an answer, ask in #ubuntu also | 10:49 |
| Iolo | You know what, I just tried it again to see the exact message it asks for the password with, and it didn't ask for one. I don't know what I've done differently all the other times or what's changed since then, but at least it works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 11:06 |
| tomreyn | sudo caches your password for a coupe minnutes (10 i think, by default?). you can run "sudo -k" to clear the cache. | 11:10 |
| brainwash | Iolo: it should ask for the password if another user account is still active. was this maybe the case? | 11:13 |
| Iolo | I don't think so. I may have had another shell open in a terminal window, but I'm guessing that doesn't count as another user account. | 11:24 |
| xubuntu70w | Hi, can I ask a support question here? | 19:40 |
