Ok 2 weeks later i figured it out, or at least i think... i should of included in my last post, i'm using the latest Raspbian build and installed Kodi from the repositories... After doing a lot of research, the problem seems to be user name related... When installing Kodi from the repositories, it creates a new user called "kodi" and runs using that name... Well I've still a lot to learn in the linux field, but during my research there's something called "polkit" (PolicyKit)... It appears that since the user kodi does not have the authority to reboot or power off the RPi the Media Center (Kodi) does not give the options in the shutdown menu... I stumbled across this site,
http://www.forum-raspberrypi.de/Thread- ... own-dialog ...
I used the exact info, but change the "xbmc" user names to "kodi", rebooted and WaLaa it worked...
Create a file in, /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/
called "50-kodi.pkla"
Code: Select all
sudo nano /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/50-kodi.pkla
fill the file with the info below
Code: Select all
[Actions for kodi user]
Identity=unix-user:kodi
Action=Action=org.freedesktop.upower.*;org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.*;org.f?reedesktop.udisks.*
ResultActive=yes
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=no
save the file and set the owner and group to root
Code: Select all
sudo chown root:root /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/50-kodi.pkla
set the permissions
Code: Select all
sudo chmod 0644 /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/50-kodi.pkla
reboot...
good luck, hope this helps...
beware that there are errors in the same file in previous posts!):
