Description Eckhart Wörner 2011-03-02 19:21:20 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

/sbin/halt is only supposed to halt the computer, in contrast to /sbin/poweroff.
With sysvinit there's no difference between those two programs, however, other init systems like systemd take this more seriously. Therefore /sbin/poweroff should be used as default.

Reproducible: Always

duplicate of rejected bug 74482 and bug 71182.
i won't reject it this time, as now not only bsd is affected by the problem. i think an #ifdef linux in genkdmconf will do now.

Pushed by ossi into branch 'KDE/4.6'.

default to poweroff for HaltCmd on linux

now that linux can have more bsd-like shutdown implementations (both in
form of gentoo and of systemd), it makes sense to treat it the same.

Oswald Buddenhagen, you should commit this fix to master branch or it will resurface in KDE SC 4.7.0.

Comment 4 Oswald Buddenhagen 2011-04-09 00:03:20 UTC

not until the idea of merging stable branches into master is definitively from the table.
