I am using openSUSE 12.1, 64-bit, with KDE 4.7.2.
My motherboard is MSI Eclipse X58.
My graphics card is Radeon HD 4850.
As I said in the subject line, the desktop no longer shuts down properly. This started about a week ago when an update that had something to do with the kernel got installed. I am not exactly sure what the update was about, but I remember it had something to do with the kernel.
uname -r shows this kernel 3.1.10-1.13-desktop to be installed.
Anyhow, every time that I click on the Shut Down icon, the desktop starts the shutdown process but then hangs at the green KDE screen that shows a lizard. My only recourse is to press the power button on the desktop case and do a hard shutdown.
What can a Linux newbie like me do to solve this problem?
Thanks.

This is a known version with that release of the kernel - there are other
threads about this topic in the install/boot forum, so you might check
those for possible solutions.

This Kernel-Version was deleted from the Update-repo because of this issues.
Downgrade to Kernel-Version:
uname -r
3.1.10-1.9-desktop
I’m seeing a similar problem with
uname -a
Linux linux-sfbc 3.4.3-30-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 18 11:52:36 UTC 2012 (41613b0) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
the only way of finding a clean exit is to run one of the following cmds
kdesu -c ‘reboot’
or
kdesu -c ‘halt -hip’
with both root privileges are needed
anything else puts me back into terminal mode
over the past week Tumbleweed has downgraded lots of packages,
I assume the glitch is in one of those
otherwise it may be a file permissions problem
