Hi all, This issue is related to my desktop. Bear with me while I give some background details.
A couple of months ago, I followed the MySQL Upgrade Guide to upgrade MySQL. At that time, some configuration files were changed. I don't know specifically if those changes had anything to do with a problem that developed. The problem was that when I logged out of KDE and chose to either restart or shutdown the computer, neither of these occurred. The monitor would shut off, but not the computer. A week or so ago, I did the gcc upgrade using the GCC Upgrade Guide and much to my pleasure, the problem of not being able to reboot or shutdown when I selected those choices from the menu on KDE logout disappeared. On Sunday, I started an 'emerge --update --deep world'. A number of kde 3.4.3 packages were pulled in (I orginally emerged kde-meta). The update went fine. At the end, I ran etc-update and 4 configuration files related to kde were updated. The files were: klipperrc, ksslcalist, kdmrc, and libkleopatrarc. Now, after the update, I again cannot reboot or shutdown when I select either of the choices from the menu on KDE logout. I figured that kdmrc, might be a logical file to be causing the problem and I *did* find a "Shutdown" section in this file with the lines related to shutdown and reboot commented out. I removed the '#' and used the suggested defaults - /sbin/halt and /sbin/reboot. Well, this didn't solve the problem, so I tried editing the related lines to /etc/init.d/shutdown.sh and /etc/init.d/reboot.sh. This didn't solve the problem either. So, in a nutshell, I still cannot shutdown or reboot when I select these from the menu on KDE logout. Any ideas here? Regards, Colleen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
