Hi ALL, I have a new clean SuSE 8.0 install ( very cool install btw) and on this sys I noticed that on the 'Logout' box there are no options for 'shutdown' or 'reboot' ; only logoff and if you select that then when it displays the logon screen there is only the 'user' and 'password' boxes. On the other 8.0 installs I am used to seeing KDE ask if you want to logon as another user or restart or reboot. I have used YOU to apply all the newer packages and KDE 3.01 Can anyone tell me what is wrong? PeterB

In Yast Sysconfig Editor did you enable KDM_SHUTDOWN=all? Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang-bang fruit

Thanks for the Tip Oliver, but I still have the problem. Whenever I click on the "Logout" icon or menu option I get that stupid little box labeled "end session for USERID" with nothing but an option to save session, Logout, or cancel. And the main login prompt has no option for shutdown or restart of the computer. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!
Hi, o.k. ... first of all are you running kde or gnome ... secondly how are you running them via startx kde or with a graphical login-manager and if so what kind of login-manager? If you are using kdm to login for kde (or gnome) you can also try this: "In the KDE Control Centre under System ---> Login Manager --> Sessions Check "Allow Shutdown" it should be set to "Everbody" for the Console You will have to change it via Administor Mode."

Hi, I had similar type of problem. My suggestion is: open xterm, su to root, run /sbin/SuSEconfig manually, and see if it suggests changes in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm//kdmrc. Probably you have in that file two lines that need to be changed: in [X-*-Core] should be AllowShutDown=All and in [X-:0-Core] should also be AllowShutDown=All. Try changing these (as root) and hopefully you should have both problems solved. At least this worked for me. Best regards! -- Tapio Tuovila -- Tapio Tuovila
