Hello Guys, I have a newly installed suse machine. I'm having a problem shutting it down. It has a last message of "shutting down sound dirver". Any help guys. Thanks in advance Richard
I have problems shutting down as well. I found that
this would happen when I have KBear running and
haven't closed all open connections...but I have no
solid prove on that so it is just a guess.
What always works though is command prompt:
su root
shutdown -h now
hope that helps.

Try top and see what is still running just before shutdown. I not evolution does not always shut down so I check with ps aux | grep evolution then using the process id numbers kill -9 <PID> in the case of kbear ps aux | grep kbear Let me know how it goes. CWSIV

Mmmm. Perhaps there is a bug on the sound driver. While the machine is powering off, swith to console 10 (ctrl-alt-f10), where kernel warning mesages are sent: you might see something there. If it is indeed the sound driver, you might dissable alsa (I'm guessing it is alsa) from stopping. It involves editing '/etc/init.d/alsasound', the stop section: but notice that this may have undesireable consequiences, like not saving the mixer status. I guess the problem could be in the 'function stop()', where it unloads modules: the kernel log might yield more info. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
Thanks I have edited the /etc/init.d/alsasound and its shutting down okay now.
