11.2 is shaping up to be a great release!

I have been 'zypper dup'-ing since M3 and haven't had this problem until I got to M5:

I can tell my computer to shutdown from the menu, with Ctrl-Alt-Del (to pull up the menu) and I can pres the power button-- all this brings up the shut down menu (with Shutdown, reboot, suspend and hibernate) except, no matter how I bring up the menu, shutdown and reboot are greyed out (Hibernate and Suspend aren't). I end up having to hold my power button to shut down, (so far no problems) but I thought I would make this problem known to a wider audience.

If you're using GNOME, this has been fixed and submitted to Factory already. See http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.2_dev#openSUSE_11.2_Milest one_5

Hmm.. Is it really fixed? I sort of got used that I have to shutdown from a terminal (init 0), but you telling me it's fixed makes me wonder. # rpm -q gnome-session --changelog | head -30 * Thu Aug 06 2009 vuntz@novell.com - Add gnome-session-polkit1.patch to fix reboot/shutdown options being disabled. - Remove PolicyKit-gnome-devel BuildRequires. So the changelog, one would assume, implies that I got the fix needed (except I might be missing some other fixed package). Nevertheless, shutdown is not active for me. OTOH, Matthew: there is still a better way than just holding down the power butten. Open a terminal, become root and use 'shutdown now -h' and your system will cleanly shut down (properly unmounting the partitions and all). And yes: I believe it's acceptable for Factory / Snapshot users to have to resort to terminal once in a while :) Just not for final releases.
