Please help me with the problem related to shut down.
Recently, I have upgraded to 12.1. It was working fine until yesterday when I found it is not shutting down.
Steps to reproduce:
Close all opened applications
Choose “Shut Down”
Shut down process starts, but it stalls after few moments with the following message on the screen (it was recorded last night):
Wait for 10 minutes, the message is still there
Only way to shut down by turning off the power switch
[7521.579084] su[6706]: pam_systemd (su-l:session): Failed to create session : Refusing activation, D-bus is shutting down
System information:
OS: OpenSuse 12.1
Platform: Dell Dimension with P4 and 2GB RAM

Had the same problem with 12.1 on another Dell (Latitude D630) - fixed by
the latest systemd patch (29 Feb).
You could also try switching back to sysvinit via F5 at boot time.
The same happens here. Since last update i think… perhaps something related with systemd ( systemd release a patch some days before). It gets stuck when i go to shut down in kde 4.7 and opensuse 12.1. I also have changed to graphical boot and shutdown image…
I suspect that it has some relation with last systemd update.
With system v i cant reboot nor shutdown in graphical mode in kde 4.7.4. If i go to konsole and enter as root ( su) i can halt and reboot without problems.
With systemd: reboot ok, but shutdown it makes all the process go to the shutdown image ( green background with the white lizard). You can hear the disk working, but after a while it doent work… waited about 5 minutes and still there. Had to shutdown manually pressing the on/off button for some seconds.
