sharali Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) Hi Installed Mandriva 2008 spring free edition. Works fine. When I selected Matisse option in 3D Desktop setting "Shutdown Menu" "Restart Menu"disappeared from from log out menu. Only "End Current Session" is available. I have to switch to command line to get the machine halted. When Metisse option is disabled everything came back. Please help Edited June 29, 2008 by sharali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medo3891 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Try this: disable 3D desktop and make sure the shutdown and restart options are back in place then re-enable it and see if they stick around this time. If that doesn't work, post here again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 If they are not there, it will either be because of your desktop. If you use Gnome, and your display manager is kdm, then you won't get the options. If you use Gnome, your display manager should be gdm. If you use KDE, then kdm.

dexter11 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 That's a problem with Metisse. While you are using it you won't have those options in that panel AFAIK. So you either don't use Metisse or you do and get used to shutdown the machine at KDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtriley98 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I had this problem with pclos and it turned out to be a problem with xgl. Go to the mcc - hardware - 3d desktop and in the advanced section choose something that is not xgl, native something is what I remember. I'm not at my linux machine at the moment. I think you'll be pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 You can't use Metisse with XGL orAIGLX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
