bardinjw Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 hi, when i log out of kde i usually get the login screen with "username" in a list and "reboot" and "halt" buttons at the bottom. when i select "reboot" i get a blank box and selecting "ok" does nothing. does anyone know where the program, conifg.file, or script is for this; so i can fix/replace it? it's just an annoyance. "shutdown -r now" works "reboot" works mandrake 9.1 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I must admit that I never fixed this problem. I just switched to gdm, and then I stopped even going back to the log in screen. I always reboot or shut down from a terminal now. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 If you are using kdm (not mdk-kdm), try looking in the kde control center -> System -> Login manager. You will need to click on the Admimistrator mode and enter your root password to change stuffs though. Although I kind of in the same boat with Ix. I am an older-school person. I always boot to init 3 (console mode, no X) and use startx to start X-windows. To reboot, I quit X then type the command in console.

Vdubjunkie Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 "shutdown -r now" works"reboot" works I have to admit, these would have been my answer to the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I had a problem that was close to yours. When I logged out, it would bypass kdm and go to console which I didn't want. I cold reboot and shut off from console, but didn't want to do that. I googled and searched and didn't find an answer. I ended up switching to gdm and has worked fine every since. It looks nicer to!

Guest Xamusk Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Well... I have this same problem. What I usually do is hit ctrl+alt+backspace. This restarts the login manager and surprise! the options are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrake_alf Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 And to think all this time I believed I had done something wrong during installation!! -------- The box said, install Windows 98 or better. So I installed Linux! -------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
