Cannot shutdown or restart RPi2 from Kodi [FIXED]

[graysky]

I don't know... works on my RPi but my install is not a fresh one and contains more packages... maybe I missed a dep or something.

@Warh - What do you think? Any ideas?

[graysky]

I think I have this fixed now without any major rebuilds. Thanks to wsnipex on the official kodi forums, I believe that your polkit file is not active and that you need to add polkit to the deps.

Maggie - Please try that mod on your RPi2 system to verify that it works.

Does this result in a proper seat? Or just working polkit integration?

[graysky]

It does not grant a seat but it does restore the functionality. I tested this on a fresh install on my RPi and can verify that it works. Let's wait to hear from maggie2 on her RPi2 but I suspect it will solve the problem.

It works on my Raspberry Pi 2! Thank you graysky for this fix.

Well, problem is still present with kodi-rbp 14.2-2 armv6h on my up-to-date Arch Linux ARM installation.
