Rainer Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Is there a known bug or has anyone else noticed that 2006 rc2 doesn't shutdown or reboot from the KDE shutdown dialog? - it goes to shutdown and stays on that "blank blue screen" - in contrast, it does however reboot etc from the login screen, so if you end you're session first and go back to the login screen, you can reboot from there as normal. Must say, 2006 is excellent so far - lots of new features, more polished than ever etc, however just a bit unsure about that reboot/shutdown issue. Thanks.

scarecrow Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Do you have any local NTFS partitions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Posted October 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Do you have any local NTFS partitions? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes - although, I used vim to hash the entry out in /etc/fstab, so it doesn't automatically get mounted on boot-up.

scarecrow Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 The problem that exists with certain NTFS partitions and 2.6.12 is not mounting, but unmounting them- which many times ended at a kernel oops at shutdown. This was not fixed oficially on all 2.6.12 revisions, although there was an unofficial patch, which I don't know if it's used on the Mandrake kernel. 2.6.13 doesn't have this problem. Of course the reason your kernel hangs while shutting down may be different, I'm just guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
