I am sorry. I did not complete my last reply. If you provide your machine type, I can assit you with the instructions further.

Requesting a shutdown coming out of KDE, the system is brought to a halt but it doesn't power-down automatically. I had no such difficulty with version 7.3; I'd request a shut-down and in due time it would shut down. I had one reply privately from an unnamed participant here whose comments would likely have been helpful if I'd been able to understood his instructions completely. I've asked him for clarity but have not yet gotten a reply, if ever I'll get one. Maybe it's me; maybe version 8.0 is doing just what it's supposed to be doing, requiring a manual power-down, but that doesn't seem likely to me, its too primitive. I certainly can't be alone with this problem. Might someone be knowledgable and courteous enough to help me? There are 200 messages entered on this list daily and no one has an answer?
