Hi, everyone.
If this has been discussed before, my apologies. I did not see it in the archives, but then I might have been using a poorly chosen search term. If there is an archive discussion and you can point me to it, that would be great. Otherwise...
About half the time when I try to end a session the computer doesn't initiate the end session activities.
I right click the desktop and select "log out," then I select either "end session only" or "restart computer." The pooter plays a sound I have enabled for the commands, but then nothing else happens. It never actually gets into the "end session" or "restart" sequence.
I end up having to power-down the computer with the power switch on the box.
I can also get the computer to reset with control/alt/backspace, but I think that's probably not an ideal solution -- agreed?
Any ideas on how I can trouble-shoot this situation where the computer simply won't reset?
Thanks! Gil ==========
Gil, I believe you have posted this before and didn't get any answers? I'm not sure if I have any ideas, but let me get a bit more info and we'll see. ;o) Are you logging out of Gnome or KDE? Have you tried both? Gnome only brings you back to the login screen, it, I don't believe, doesn't shut you down. When you log out, what screen do you get too or does it not go out from the desktop? Ctrl-alt-backspace only resets the X server, but ctrl-alt-delete should tell it to shutdown properly. Have you tried going to tty1 to shudown? Press ctrl-alt-F1 and log in as root. After doing that issue the command "shutdown -h now" to completely shutdown or "shutdown -r now" to reboot. See if those work for you and we'll go from there.
