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 ?
yes, in systemsettings everything seems to be ok.
This may be related to bug http://bugs.kde.org/228005 you can try disabling the logout notification in systemsettings.
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.
