Power off / reboot problem

Hi!

As of last two days I have a problem powering off my PC or even rebooting my PC.

I go in KDE to leave, then reboot of power off, but the system just logs me off instead. The same thing is when I use the shortcut ctrl+shift+alt+pgdwn for power off, it just makes poweroff.

Has anyone had such a problem?

system is up to date, for any additional information do post what and how to do it.

Thanks in advance!!

I sometimes have that problem in the first attempt to reboot after an update. It seems that some updates break the communication paths used. But if I use CTRL-ALT-F1, then login as root at the virtual console, “shutdown -r now” usually works for rebooting.

yes, that works, also what works is from the login screen reboot or shutdown (when the system first just logs me out)
