Hello,
This seems a silly question but I can't shutdown/reboot in KDE. I'm using Suse 11.2 64bit, with all updates. Due to sound-problems I had to install Gnome and afterwards I added KDE. When I log into Gnome, I have a possibility to shutdown the machine, besides switching to another user and restarting the computer. So this is OK. When I log into KDE, all I can do is log out of KDE, there are no other choices. In the login-screen there are possibilities to shutdown or restart the PC. What do I have to install to be able to shutdown the PC from within KDE ?
Related maybe : if I try to start a new session from within KDE, nothing happens, the screen turns black. If I move the mouse or press a key, I get a prompt (small window) to give the password of the original session's user. Then I'm back in the original session. What's happening ? Now I remember that I never tried this in Gnome.
Thanks for any info. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong --
Change your Display Manager (e/tc/sysconfig editor in Yast, IIRC) from GDM to KDM3/4 if you use KDE as your default DE and GDM for GNOME. It seems this is not distro-specific: it's the same in Ubuntu and Fedora as well- there is no 'Shutdown' option in KDE if you use GDM and vice-versa, shutdown has to be done through the other Display Manager.
