Description Frantisek Elias 2011-02-09 20:35:43 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Hello,
I can't shut down or reboot my machine from KDE. K->Leave->Shutdown quits KDE and then tty1 stays shown. So I need to login in console and finally after that I can shutdown my ntb with 'halt' command. I found when KDE logouts me and I login in console there's still X process running. I noticed if I 'kill <pid_of_X_process>' nothing happens and finally after about 30sec computer halts. After the kill command I can see in 'ps' X process has 'Rs+' flags.
I have Archlinux, KDE4.6, kernel 2.6.37, xorg-server 1.9.4. Downgrade to 2.6.36 didn't help. It shouldn't be hardware/kernel bug. There are no errors in /var/log/xorg.0.log neither /var/log/kdm.log.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
K->Leave->Shutdown

Actual Results:  
Computer hangs in tty1.

Expected Results:  
Computer shuts down.

Do users have permission to shutdown the computer in systemsettings -> Authentication screen -> Shutdown (or something like that, my KDE desktop is in Brazilian Portuguese) -> Local: everyone and Shutdown: /sbin/halt ?

Comment 2 Frantisek Elias 2011-02-12 00:55:54 UTC

yes, in systemsettings everything seems to be ok.

Comment 3 Lamarque V. Souza 2011-02-13 21:41:03 UTC

This may be related to bug http://bugs.kde.org/228005 you can try disabling the logout notification in systemsettings.

Comment 4 Frantisek Elias 2011-02-16 21:42:30 UTC

Disabling the logout notifications didn't solve the problem. Same with turning
off system notifications. 

Little update: As I've previosly said, after KDE shutdown X process is still running but also kdm process is. I can't kill it. Maybe it's X-server issue? Should I fill a bug in freedesktop.org bugzilla?

I really thought it was a KDE bug, not kernel bug. I was wrong, after kernel upgrade to .38 shutting down is working again.
