Not shutting down

[zeneknath]

Hello friends

i have selected KDE welcome screen as default. now when i am using Gnome desktop. when i restart or shutdown the system it's logging off to welcome screen & it is NOT shutting down. it's happening with both user & root with Gnome desktop. on the other hand if i shutdown using KDE desktop its shutting down with no problems. any suggestions?

thanks !

Hi , i am new to linux & this is my first post here...

I think you should try to shutdown your computer using Terminal in Gnome . so if there was any problem , the commands will show it and the troubleshooting would be easier ...

i think the shutdown command is :

shutdown -h now

+ do u have any folder on your desktop that is mount on your /home directory ?

if so , try to unmount it or mount it to somewhere else like Documents & try again .

I had a similar problem with 11.2, but I only have gnome and no kde. The latest updates fixed this.

Newest kernel should fix it. Just do an update from yast

I don't have any folder's on the desktop except home & trash

will try updating ......it

thanks !

Which version of SuSe are you using?
Post the output of uname -a command here.

not sure what folders have to do with it???

In any case go to yast and check for updates. It would help to know what version. If older the 11.0 there are no updates
