Won't turn off?

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hello,

When I go to Computer -> Shutdown -> Shutdown, openSUSE won’t actually shutdown. It just logs me off and takes me to the login screen, where I then have to go to the “Menu” at the bottom and go to Shutdown -> Shutdown again, to actually make openSUSE shutdown my computer. Any idea why it won’t just shutdown the first time?

This is the normal functionality, as I recall. A regular average user
(non-root) shouldn’t be able to power off a machine just because they
want to and so you are taken to a screen where you put in the root
password or where shutdown is allowed. Try with ‘root’ to see if it’s
any different, but otherwise you can go to Yast: Security: Local
Security and allow shutdown via the GUI and this will probably work for you.

Good luck.

I see the options:

  • Enable basic system services in runlevel 3 (multiuser with network)
  • Enable basic system services in runlevel 5 (multiuser with network and graphical login)
  • Enable extra services in runlevel 3
  • Enable extra services in runlevel 5

All of which are disabled, but I am not sure which one to enable - I read their descriptions but I’m still not sure :\
