Shutdown problems probably come from upower. Your user would loose control of external devices only if you were in the storage/disk groups. Adding youself to these groups was your mistake, since unless you understand what you are doing, you should let console-kit do the permission granting. In fact, on a modern linux system you only have to be a member of 1 group: users. How do you start your desktop and do you have ck-launch-session running? -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
