But you don't mention:
1. did you install 12.3 as a fresh install or did you upgrade from an earlier version of oS to 12.3? Fresh install to a new(old but overwritten) HD. I've been doing this way from almost begenning but this problem started some thing like 12.0 or 12.1.
2. are you using KDE (which version) or Gnome? I used to use Gnome up until 12.1.? or 12.2.? but finally switched to KDE after using Gnome for last 10 years or so because Gnome3 was not so stable and didn't like the way it was going. The symptom didn't change when I switched the window manager.
3. Is your version of 12.3 fully up-to-date? Yes. Right before I posted this I made sure I got all available online-updates.
4. what setting do you have in the System Settings>Session Management?
As I wrote above I'm using KDE now. I can't find System Settings->Session Management app. sorry.
He also does not mention how he is trying to poweroff .. using the desktop icon ? issuing "poweroff" etc..?
I regularly use Leave->Turn off desktop on the desktop. But tried "halt -p". Same result.

Hi Toshi, Failure to power-off the system can be a side-effect of booting with the directive "acpi=off" in the command line. Check the menu entries in your "menu.lst" (grub) or "grub.cfg" (grub2) file to see if that directive is there. If it is, you'll want to experiment with removing it to see if the problem goes away. It's very late here and I don't have time to write up the details, so I'll leave it to you and others to sort that part out (including having a 'rescue CD' handy, just in case, and keeping backups of changed files.) hth & regards, Carl P.S.: I don't believe this will help but, for future reference, Session Management in KDE 4.10.00 "release 1" is under Applications -> Configure Desktop -> Startup and Shutdown from your main menu. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
