Why? Better you ask your distro maintainer to reproduce the issue. I am using fedora..... .... and i can't reproduce the issue.
Hi @raveit65 . It is reproducible by our MATE maintainer. I'm just the messenger. I understand you're using Fedora, which uses systemd. As mentioned in my original message, this looks ConsoleKit2 related (which MATE supposedly supports, at least there's code for it).
Adding support for ConsoleKit2 was a) not my idea :) b) a bad idea because nobody from us use it. c) should be dropped, IHMO
Fair enough. Closing and fixing locally. Thanks anyway.
Hi
I would like to reopen this issue because after looking into this the main problem is that in the request_reboot_privileges_completed_consolekit() callback end_phase() is called so there is just no chance for the polkit dialog to pop up, a logout will be initiated right away.
I've also realized that canceling the polkit auth dialog will also emit the restart complete signal and will fall back to MDM logout.
I know that systemd is magic, but I just don't see how systemd would ask for a password on a reboot request. I am happy to fix the consolekit support, but I would like to have some explanation about how the systemd part should work. Or does systemd just allow anyone to reboot if the logged in user has the active session?
Reopening because this is not related to ConsoleKit. I see the same behaviour with systemd on Linux Mint with the MATE Desktop. Consider this polkit rule:
# cat /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/admin-shutdown.pkla
[Only allow admin to shutdown]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.reboot;org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions;org.freedesktop.login1.power-off;org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions
ResultInactive=auth_admin
ResultActive=auth_admin
ResultAny=auth_admin
Then click on restart or shutdown in the quit MATE dialog, you'll get logged out before the polkit authentication agent had the change to display a password dialog. This is the journald output:

anyone? @raveit65 ?
@mate-desktop/core-team
I'm on Debian Buster, I have not added any polkit rules, and I don't even need to authenticate before shutdown. But sometimes I also experience "logging out instead of shutting down".

Is it this bug too, or is it a separate issue?
Expected behaviour
Password authentication dialog (mate-polkit) to shutdown the system in case polkit is configured as such.
Actual behaviour
Immediate logout, without password dialog. The machine does not shutdown though. Error in logs: mate-session[76511]: WARNING: Unable to stop system: Authorization is required That's expected because I couldn't input my password, logout happened immediately.
In order what happens is:
Maybe there's an inhibit missing somewhere..?
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Add a polkit rule similar to:
Click on the shutdown button.
