Using final versions and repos, choosing "turn off computer" will hang indefinately just before the (usual) final stage of powering down. If I use sysvinit as a test, it powers down properly.
I know that this was a problem with systemd previously, with the suggestion of using sysvinit temporarily as a work-around, but I don't see any mention in the forums now of this happening in the final 12.2. Is it possible it only happens with KDE 3.5? Is a work-around, other than sysvinit, known?
Everything else seems to be working properly.
On some mailing list somewhere I can't recall, in the past 8 weeks or so IIRC, there was extensive discussion about a decades old cross-distro bug in one of halt or shutdown, which likely surfaced on account of systemd. The devs decided to violate decades of expectations by "fixing" the old bug, with the result that attempting to power down the system via menus that always worked before would work no longer until menu selections dependent on one of halt or shutdown were "corrected" to account for the "fixed" behavior. I searched the opensuse list archives for it and struck out, so maybe it was on a *buntu or fedora or mageia or mandriva list. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
