eroica Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) hello, i'm still having problems w/my new mdv 06 install. right now my most annoying problem is when i goto shutdown half the time the kicker disappears but then the desktop just sits there. i have to then hit the power button and it starts the shutdown but always hangs on some process either alsa or eth0 etc. i then have to press power button again to shutdown computer. then when i restart i get a "mandriva was shut down blah blah blah" i've tried disabling laptop mode but that did no good. The only thing i added from install was a usb mouse which works fine. Is there anyway I can find out what process is hanging the system on shutdown. I have a toshiba satellite laptop w/mandriva 2006 and kde 3.4... thanx, alan Edited December 5, 2005 by eroica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wortel Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hi, I know it's not a direct answer to your problem, but maybe you can try to use Gnome, and try to shutdown from it... If everything is fine, I think you can try to switch the Login Manager (KDM to GDM) , as a temporary problem solver, until you can recognize your system well and find out the real answer to your problem. I once had the same problem, and it's enough for me to switch the Login Manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelcole Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 When you have the black screen going down it tells you what is happening .. But you could check the file /var/messages/ I found on my laptop something to do with the sound service.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 My laptop also do that things sometimes. When it hangs during shutdown I just press the lid-button, and then it continues. The other problem is more rare and happens only when the computer has been up a long time, or I have restarted KDE some times, I've no answear to that.

ianw1974 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 First thing I would suggest is applying all normal/security/bug fixes updates to your system and see if that helps. If you've already done this, what kernel version are you running right now? Default is 2.6.12.12. Latest available for 2006 now is 2.6.12.15 downloadable from urpmi repositories.
