Now, when I try to shutdown or reboot the machine from the KDM login screen, I cannot type anything into the authorization dialog which prompts for the root password. The dialog box just does not accept any input! The cursor is blinking inside the box, but no keyboard input is accepted. Hence, in order to reboot the machine, I either have to login as root in KDE, or I have to switch to a text console and also log in as root. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Configure KDE to restrict reboot/shutdown to root: 1. start YaST -> "Security and Users" -> "Security Center and Hardening" 2. select "Boot Settings", "Boot Permissions" 3. select "Only root" for "Shutdown Behavior of KDM Login Manager" Now (re)boot to the KDM login screen, then 1. Click "Menu" on the bottom left 2. Click "Shutdown", select either "Reboot" or "Shutdown", does not matter 3. An "Root Authorization required" dialog box pops up 4. Try to type the root password Actual Results: The "Root Authorization required" dialog box does not accept any keyboard input. Expected Results: The "Root Authorization required" should accept the root password and reboot/shutdown the machine after a click on "OK". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
