mifan Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Last night I installed and updated the downloadable 2008.1 CD from mandriva. When I go to the menu and select logout, i get the confirmation screen, if i press ok to logout then the screen turns black and puts me back into my current session. waiting 30 seconds for logout also does the same. There seems to be no choice for shutdown or restart, only logout. The only way I can turn off the computer is by logging in as root and doing shutdown -h now. I'd like to get these things solved, so when my wife turns on the computer and logs into her account she doesn't have to ask me to type stuff in the terminal to turn it off. Any help is appreciated!

mifan Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Check the session manager settings in the KDE Control Centre. it says: General: confirm logout - check offer shutdown options - check but i get no shutdown options only "end current session" and end session doesn't work. only lock screen works.
