To turn it off i have to use e.g. 'halt' in terminal.

It began a few days ego. Someone can help me ?

Answer 1

I had once a similar problem with a fresh installation. There was something missing re PolicyKit/ConsoleKit (can't remember the details, sorry, but it should be fairly easy to check you have all the packages you need). Also I had to modify ~/.xinitrc to launch XFCE with this command:

exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

I hope this helps.
