Hi all. My work laptop running 11.3/KDE4.4.95 with current updates as of today is now hanging on shutdown. After clicking on "Turn Off Computer" in KDE4 I am immediately (and I do mean immediately, almost instantly) dropped to the console prompt, the shutdown begins (with "Sending all processes the KILL signal") and then I get a black screen with a single cursor in the top rh corner. An occassional flicker of the HDD light happens but that is all - the machine sits indefintely until I do the magic SysRq Ctrl-Alt-PrtScr-S,U,B combination (that does work - the drives are reported as clean on next boot). I'm figuring to debug this I probably need to redirect the system console to the serial port and use my other laptop with minicom to watch the serial output and see what part of the shutdown process is hanging, but I'm not sure how to do this. What config files/grub options do I need to make this work? TIA, Rodney. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =========================================== ======== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
