After I made an XGL script to log into an XGL session I managed to get Beryl to work. When I press the power button it should show me some options but instead it sppears to crahs and I land in a black screen. I have to restart to be able to log back in. This also happens when I try to log out. This happens on both the XGL and regular session. Im running Ubuntu Feisty on a compaq v2000.
i think you don't have enough permissions to halt the computer as a normal user. For solve it, open /etc/sudoers file as root and add this line:
after saving file, change its permissions with:Code:username machinename = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown -h now
usename machinename= NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot
command.Code:chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
After all you'll be able to shutdown by usingcommand.Code:sudo shutdown -h now
I know I can shut it down through the terminal but I didn't want to. Anyway I fixed the problem but I forgot how I did it. Thx for the response.
You must be using different Login Manager. e.g. If one uses GDM then there wont be any option in KDE except Logout and Switch User. Same is with KDM and Gnome combination.Quote:

I use Gnome and GDM, but like I said it's ok now I went to the ubuntu forums and found how to fix it but I forgot.
