Sorry, double post :/ The monitor just turns off then nothing happens. I can't even use the keyboard so I can't do anything except pressing the reset button.

Thanks for the quick replies :) As I said in my original post, I have tried the shutdown command and it worked perfectly. I also checked the boot log to confirm that it stopped the dm successfully. I'll check these init scripts out. To rcxau: I'm in North Balwyn :)

Hi everyone :) I just got Drake 9.1 installed, it's so much faster than RH9 and I love it :D Anyway I have this weird problem: I can't shutdown/restart/logout properly using the little app at the bottom of the start menu. I'm talking about the logout thing you get at the bottom of the start menu, where you get a stupid dragon and 3 options: login as a different user || restart || shutdown. None of these works. If I use that menu to perform any of the above actions, the monitor will go off, then the whole machine freezes: no display, no keyboard, no mouse. I have to do a hard reset or turn the whole thing off, which causes some HDD checker to run afterwards of course. The only way around it (that Ive found so far) is to run shutdown -r/-h as root :/ I've checked the boot log and all I get is that it fails to stop dm the display manager. :/ I have tried all display managers available, and have updated the packages, but I still have the same problem. Help please :) Many thanks in advance
