Can not shut down after updating.

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi,
A few days ago I installed Nvdia fx 5200 drivers and after that I had on my grub menu Opensuse 2.6.31.8-0.1 Desktop along with Default. Since Desktop worked alright and Default would work only in terminal, I erased Default from Grub menu.
Yesterday Update Applet warned about some updates, I installed them and had on Grub menu 2.6.31.12 Desktop with 2.6.31.12 Default.
When I wanted to shut down computer, the screen froze. It works when I reboot but if I want to shut down, it doesn’t do this, I have to make a forced shut down.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks.

This seems to be a bug in 2.6.31.12 on some systems roll back to 2.6.31.8

Or roll back to the kernel 11.2 came with: 2.6.31-5

I had got an openzilla bacup of 2.6.31.8, I’ll restore it. It will solve the problem I guess.
By the way, should I remove the update applet? I read in some places that it was much more safe to update manually.
Thanks.

Nothing to do with safety/security. The updater applet can be annoying: it locks package management whenever it’s busy updating packages or content of repos.
Do not remove it, just configure it: right click icon, uncheck “Automatically start updater on login”, OK. Right click icon again, pick Exit. On next login it will not be started.

Hope this helps you out.
