hi,

 

I installed mdk 9.1 on my presario AMD 2200+ laptop. Everything works fine except when it comes to Reboot/Halt my computer.

 

I am working on GUI envt ... I use KDE.. When I logout, I get the Reboot/Halt window. But clicking "REBOOT" does'nt reboot the system. It just shows a blank window with a back button. Curiously :shock: , HALT works without a problem.

 

I just need to physically reboot the computer, still, 'am wondering why it is acting like this. Is it some security constraints I might have unknowingly defined during installation ?

 

Has anyone faced/rectified this problem before ? If so, please tell me how ...

 

P.S. I am a newbie to Linux :oops:

is it OK to activate a console shutdown from a GUI interface ?

Yes it is.

While your in the console, type su and your root password, then type

urpmi kdm

see if that helps with your GUI logout problem.

You need the updates (mdkkdm, or kdm). Use Mandrake Update to at minimum get one of those and the drak stuff (draktools, drakconf etc...). you can change which desktop manager (dm) to use in the Mandrake Control Center>Hardware>Login Manager (or something).
