Using the shutdown button starts the shutdown process, but the system halts at some point displaying the green screen with the gecko. While shutting down the eye moves, then a "click" from the HDD is heard and the eye stops moving. The system then freezes. If i switch to the command console prior to the halt, the final message is "System halted". I am using OpenSUSE 12.1 x64 after a distribution upgrade from 11.4. Using sysconfig editor to add options to shutdown or change the halt behaviour led me nowhere, though I am not sure I used the tool correctly. As a workaround, I created a script called "shutdown.sh" containing the following line: sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now and placed it in /home/Saverios/.kde4/shutdown/ with the password option for sudo disabled (yes, I know, security risks blah blah blah - just get the darn thing working and I will re-enable the password!). Never had this problem with previous versions of OpenSUSE.

After upgrading from 11.4 to 12.1 KDE 64bit, I can not able to shutdown unless I hard press the shutdown for long. The screen flickers hundreds of times and does not stop and does not shutdown. In 11.4 also, I had this problem of screen flickering before shutting down. This problem was not there in the earlier versions. Now, with 12.1 it is worse. PS : When I give 'shutdown -r now' command from the non-graphical mode (without starting X), then it shuts down neatly and swiftly. Has any of you found a fix ?

I tried every possible combination of systemd / sysvinit with shutdown and all its parameters, with poweroff and halt. My /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc is ok. All the settings about shutdown are ok. The BIOS is updated. There is no way to power off the machine, even if I try all those commands as root in a terminal. There must have been a change to the shutdown scripts and programs somewhere in 11.4. Is there a way to get a version history of those changes, and see the old files?

I also encountered this after upgrading from 11.4 to 12.1 a few days ago. The solution was to change the kdmrc file as specified above so that it read

HaltCmd=/sbin/shutdown -h -P now

Otherwise the system wouldn't power off when shutting down or hibernating.

I had there: HaltCmd=/sbin/halt I commented it. Currently it is default. # Default is "/sbin/shutdown -h -P now" #HaltCmd=/sbin/halt After one reboot. It works.
