I've installed Mythbuntu 8.04 and want to use Mythwelcome. When I use the
suggested myth-halt.sh I see in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log:

2008-05-16 21:25:11.050 Running the command to shutdown this computer :-

/usr/share/mythtv/myth-halt.sh
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: A security policy in place
prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see
message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface
"org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement" member "Shutdown" error
name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")
2008-05-16 21:25:13.089 I'm idle now... shutdown will occur in 60 seconds.

Also when I try the command manually it gives me this error.

I do not know what to do, can I solve this easily?

In the mean time I tried to add the mythtv user to the sudoers file with
visudo to not require a password. But sudo keeps asking for a password.

I added the following line:
mythtv ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot, /sbin/halt, /sbin/shutdown
Does it matter where I add the line in the file? I assume spaces are ok, and
visudo does not complain when I save the file.

I gave the mythtv user a password. (Mythbuntu only uses the user via sudo ?)

But when I try it, it does not work, for example:

rmorrien at MythTV:~$ su mythtv
Password:
$ /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/reboot
[sudo] password for mythtv:

Suggestions are welcome,

Martijn
