Hi,
I have a problem rebooting or shutting down my computer. The buttons do not work, nothing happens. If I type ‘sudo /sbin/halt’ into the console, the system shuts down as it is supposed to. In System Settings/Login Manager, the same command is specified (without sudo though). I am using KDE4 unstable.
Any help would be appreciated, like which log to check; I did not see anything relevant in /var/log/messages or dmesg.
Also, please excuse me if I posted in the wrong forum 
I am using KDE4 unstable.
Why?
If you can’t find a solution to this yourself, you have to ask Why?
What version of openSUSE?
I did not ask why, I asked for help where I could start looking for the problem 
I am using openSUSE 11.1.
Remove Unstable repo’s and roll back
No, I will not do that - I enjoy trying out new things, I report bugs and suggest features, I even coded some minor stuff myself and it got accepted into KDE. I would rather shut the computer down through the console or via the button on the case if there is no other alternative.
Thank you, but no… any other suggestions?
Check the reported bugs in kde.
I’m going to move this to pre-release/beta if that’s OK.
Could be a QT issue - Maybe?
Sure.
I tried checking the bug reports, but there’s a lot of stuff there, plus it doesn’t seem to affect every installation as my other computer is fine, so I thought maybe someone with the same distribution might have had a similar issue.
Anyway, if someone else has a clue, I’d appreciate it.
Please post result of
zypper lr -d
Here is the output of the command. Looking at it like this, it seems a mess, so many similar repositories with the same priority

Personally I would experiment with disabling QT 45 and roll QT back to whatever is in Factory

Is the title of this thread to do with there not being Shutdown and Restart
options in the Gui - both from the kicker “Leave” menu and the Lock/Logout
widget? If so, I just installed RC2 (x64) and they’re not there. I’m using
init 0 and init 6 for the time being.
I have the same distribution, and the same problem.
At first I didnt see the shutdown and restart options in the leave menu because I was using gdm as display manager. After installing kdm and setting it as default display manager, I was able to see these buttons, but nothing happens when clicking on them. The logout option does not work either.
I installed kde4.4 on my opensuse 11.1 following instruccions from KDE4 - openSUSE, from the factory branch repository.
I’ve been searching but I didnt find anything but this post. While there is no solutions I am using the shutdown command from commandline.
Thanks
Did You install kde4.4 from here? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1/KDE4-BASIS.ymp
That’s right, I installed from that url, except that i used the KDE4-DEFAULT.ymp package. Any ways, yesterday it worked. I dont really know why, I havent done anything. First day of kde it didnt work, but the second it did. So my problem is solved, and I am sorry I cant say how. Thank you!
