@Ilya: Back in early 2012 (I believe) we had a problem with /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc with a default in the [Shutdown] Section reading "HaltCmd=/sbin/halt" instead of "HaltCmd=/sbin/halt -p", by default. That was fixed, I believe. I did an install/test from the 12.3M1 x86 DVD the other night, and the problem is back again ... regression? IIW, it is back to "HaltCmd=/sbin/halt" again. I originally used the 12.2 KDE3 repo offered by by the Community repos in Yast, but udpated later to Factory, so I can not say for sure where this Shutdown command came from. I also created a backup 12.2 install of KDE3 a few weeks ago, and defintely used the 12.2 KDE3 repo, and it too does not shutdown properly. I had forgotten at that time about the early 2012 problem with the shutdown parameter, and elected instead to switch to sysvinit, which solved it. Checking kdmrc it too has "HaltCmd=/sbin/halt" rather than "HaltCmd=/sbin/halt -p". No big deal, but could you find time in your maintenance chores to reset this default back to working condition? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
