If you're trying to log in as root from gdm, this behaviour is normal. You should log in as root from another console (tty1, for example), kill GDM and then startx. For the "No shutdown" problem, are you running stable? If not, did you upgrade gnome-power-manager recently? This package has caused such problems already. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
