Hi!
I’m unable to reboot or poweroff my machine from kde menus. I tried it 3 diferent ways: 1st - KDE menu => Leave => Restart; 2nd - Desktop => Leave => Restart Computer; 3rd - Ctrl + Alt + Del => Restart Computer. None works. It returns a black screen with a white cursor, a small trace, blinking in the upper left corner. I already added the line TerminateServer=true in the file /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc under the section [X-*-Core]. Anyone knows how to fix this? P.S.: I'm running slackware64 current and KDE 4.13.3. |

Next time this occurs, can you switch to a virtual terminal and capture the output of "ps aux" in regards to processes running under your normal user account? I suspect an application is silently hanging around in the background and preventing the KDE logout/shutdown process from completing successfully.

bcooksley,
here is the output:

I can only see one process running under your account there:
It therefore appears that this is a X issue - as startkde isn't present either. If you kill gam_server from the VT, does the X session exit successfully?

I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F2, within KDE Workspace, and ran kill -9 <gam_server's pid> but no success. I see its rebirth instead of death.

You're right. It's a xorg issue.
I found out that if I downgrade xorg-server from 1.15.2 to 1.14.3 I can reboot/poweroff from KDE menus. I'm not interested in downgrade xorg. I'm still looking for other solution which won't obligate me to downgrade any package. Sorry to post in wrong place. Thank you |

No problem. Based on what we've seen thus far, this appears to be a bug in X - it isn't terminating any more as it is supposed to. You'll need to follow this up with your distribution i'm afraid.
