KDE cannot shut down...

Hello there…

I have a problem with KDE…
I go to Main Menu > Leave > Shutdown OR Restart OR Log Off
I press

nothing happens…

This started a few days ago when I disabled some services…

Don’t know what service is associated… :frowning:

I tried using command line and everything works…
init 0
shutdown 0
shutdown -r 0
all work and bring down the system but my settings and open applications are not saved.

Any ideas?

Thanks Aris

some info…

opensuse 11.2

  1. enable all the services you disabled

  2. test to see if you can then shut down KDE normally

a. if you can shut down normally
-disable the services you know you do not need one at a time
-until you disable the one that you didn’t know you need (and
normal shut down ceases)
-then enable the one you should have never turned off
-next time make SURE you know what you are doing before you do it,
and have a backup you can use to recover from a broken system

b. if after enabling the previously shutdown services you cannot shut
down normally you will then know the problem is not with disabled
services and you can seek other potential problems…since there are
many i would suggest you use the forums advanced search function to
seek them out…

one thing that might have happened is you knowingly or not installed
an update which broke you system…do you have more than the
recommended basic four repos enabled???

come on arimaniac!

you don’t tell us the very basic minimum we might need to help you!
like, what operating system are you using? what version? what version
of KDE? what is the patch update status of your system (there was a
kernel update not so long ago that broke everyone’s (who installed it)
ability to shut down normally…

we can NOT see what you have there…so, how could we possibly help you…

see my sig for a big hint hint!!

here is another hint: before you start experimenting with shutting
down services do a good full system backup–then if you system is
damaged it is easy to restore to what was working…

this good!

> Ok I ll try to do that with services…

only way i know to proceed…

> Anyway to see the yast log of activities?

YaST is a GUI frontend for several different modules…i suppose you
want to try to track down what updates might have been
processed…for software management, the thing that does all the
‘work’ is named Zypper…and, what it has been doing lately is in
/var/log/zypper.log

if you have your logrotate set to compact and store logs occasionally
there may be some named zypper.log-[YYYYMMDD].bz2 where inside the
brackets is the date the archive was formed…

good luck
