Gul Dukat Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi, I've just installed Mandriva 2007 x86_64 PowerPack on one of my computers at home. No problems with the installation however. But when trying to Shut Down Mandriva 2007 x86_64, all I seem to get is 1 option. Th eonly option that I'm getting is End Current Session. To bypass this problem, I enter the command shtudown in a terminal and excecute it as root. Is it missing a certain package or did I forget something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

scarecrow Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Run MCC/boot and enable that option. I think it can also be done via kmenu/admin. By the way what kind of computer is that, which made you using the x86_64 crippo on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 It's just for a test-setup. Run MCC/boot and enable that option. I think it can also be done via kmenu/admin. I'm sorry for that, but I don't see any option here to Shut Down. I just see 3 options: - Enable autologin and select the user to automatically log in - Set up how the system boots - Select the graphical theme of the system while booting But none of the three, seem to have an option to add the option of Shut Down when I Log Out.

scarecrow Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) Shutting down is not enabled by default with security settings higher than "normal". On my system (which isn't Mandriva) changing this can be done via kcontrol/system administration/login manager/shutdown. You can also change permissions of the shutdown command ( in Mandriva it must be /sbin/halt ) to be executable by anyone. Or, if the former looks like a security risk to you, you can create a new group named "shutdown", add to that group all users you wish, and then change permissions of the file /sbin/halt to root/shutdown. You can also do any of the above for the reboot command ( /sbin/reboot ). Edited March 26, 2007 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythe Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I had this problem as well when I installed the x86_64 version. Upgrading to KDE 3.5.6 solved the problem, but you're also probably better off just installing the i586 version instead of the 64bit. I had too many problems with the 64bit to count.

Gul Dukat Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Thanks, for your replies Scythe and Scarecrow. I've solved the problem in MCC. Thanks to scarecrow. This x86_64-setup is for a test-situation, only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
