Hello everybody,
I have this issue. When I logoff from kde (shut down) the system hangs. Screen freezes on the green geko, and after a while the drive stop spinning and I manually poweroff.
Manually shutdown from console works perfectly.
Does someone have any advice for me?
A grub boot menu press F5 and boot with SystemV
Does that make any difference at shutdown?
Hallo caf4926,
thanks for the help. Booting under SystemV allows me to shutdown the machine.
Is there a config file or something I have to modify?
Ruggero
Add this argument to the menu.lst
init=/sbin/sysvinit
Or like this

Thank you very much. I’ll google a way to fix systemd either.
Thanks again.

Don’t forget to report this bug in Bugzilla. It is important.

Does it finally shutdown if you wait more than 5 minutes?
Does it shutdown if you type the following as root in a terminal (under X):
shutdown -h now
I have the same problem as RuggeroFuralentto, as do many others (it is already in bugzilla).
@please_try_again, I waited more than 5 minutes but the system still hangs.And yes, shutdown -h now worked.
@caf4926, thanks for the tip. I had to add init=/sbin/sysvinit, as that is where sysvinit is on my system, and had to edit the entry using the bootloader in YAST as changing the entry under the editor for /sys/config didn’t work.
Thanks for pointing that typo out
I did two new images
I have the reverse problem: shutting down from KDE works well, but from the console with “sudo /sbin/halt”, it hangs instead of shutting down.
Will try the sysvinit approach.
This problem doesn’t require you to use sysvinit. As per the release notes for 12.1, the halt command now needs an option to shutdown correctly.
sudo /sbin/halt -p
will do the trick.
Thanks for the hint. I somehow overlooked that one.
Here the bugzilla entry: Access Denied
this is the solution by Eric Schirra:
In /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc is default
/sbin/haltBut in /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc.rpmnew it is default
/sbin/shutdown -h -P nowSo suse 12.1 (new kde version from 12.1) need shutdown not halt.
Delete kdrmrc and rename kdmrc.rpmnew in kdmrc and restart.

Ah, of course! It is a requirement of updated systems to review all the
…rpmnew and .rpmsave files. The list should be in “/var/adm/rpmconfigcheck”.

I have had a similar problem, and I believe that it is a video driver bug in my case. My video board is an integrated Unichrome board, with which I have had previous problems on other Linux installation attempts.
OpenSUSE 11.1 works just fine. This is my main system. Not wanting to lose my system, I did a “clean” installation of 12.1 on a separate hard drive to check out 12.1. It froze on shutdown or logout just as many others have reported.
I tried a lot of the tips given in the forums, and did all the updates, but the only thing that allows me to shutdown cleanly is to use the “shutdown -h -P now” command from a console in and give the root password. This is inconvenient and rather unprofessional.
Interestingly, I got the same result when I tried an installation of Kubuntu 11.1 (the KDE flavor of Ubuntu), though not with the Gnome version of Ubuntu.
Just out of curiosity, I stuck in a borrowed video board (NVidia derived) to replace the Unichrome integrated video, booted and OpenSUSE 12.1 recognized the board, and the shutdown problem was immediately resolved. When I went back to the integrated Unichrome video, it would again freeze on shutdown or logout.
So this strongly indicates a bug in the either the video driver or the KDE shutdown script that affects the Unichrome video board, and perhaps others.

If the solution that worked for RuggeroFurlanetto did not work for you, it
is then a different issue, and then you should post a new thread, not reuse
an old one. It would be more visible and recomendations for one and the
other not get confused.
On the other hand, you may have enough data for a bugzilla.

its similar with me
i have integrated Intel HD 2000 graphic card, but who know whether is it because of the card or something else.
i tried editing /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc
with /sbin/shutdown -h or with /sbin/halt -p but neither wouldn’t work

Hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english, I only speak spanish.
I have openSUSE 12.1 64 bits and had the same trouble: openSUSE doesn’t shutdown, freezes at green gecko.
I did some research about adding “init=/sbin/sysvinit” and I think it’s not the smarter approach to solve the problem. For more info about why I do not recommend to add the line “init=/sbin/sysvinit”, please read this:
openSUSE:Managing Systemd - openSUSE
openSUSE News
To solve the problem, I edited (as root) the file /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc, at section Shutdown and added this line:
HaltCmd=/sbin/shutdown -h -P now
I hope this will help to others.
