@Montblanc, I had already made some remarks in my comment on bug #809628 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/809628/comments/10) before i found this bug.
There is an ugly workaround that may help you with this... Add to your /etc/sudoerrs (using sudoedit): ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/halt and then create a "shortcut" on your KDE desktop to "sudo /sbin/halt -p" and use it instead of "Kickoff -> Exit -> Turn off computer" But this is too ugly compared to a system that is honouring the /etc/init.d/halt script (taking its config options from /etc/default/halt) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/859075 Title: Oneiric does not shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/859075/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
