Starting today, when I click on shutdown, it takes me back to login scree instead of shutting down the computer.
From the login screen, if I press on shutdown on the bottom right, it will indeed shutdown !
At the GRUB menu, what is the command to shut down? Typing "halt" in the command line doesn't work and only hangs the computer on the command line screen. Heard that "init 0" works?

I've tried
Code: gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor and checking the /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons, but it doesn't do anything even after a reboot. I've also tried the above command as root (without the "-u gdm").
I have also tried adding the following lines to /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
Code: RebootCommand= ShutdownCommand= These seem to have no effect either. Is this a Gnome bug, or am I doing something wrong?
My computer was working this morning and both hard drives were working fine, then all of a sudden for about two hours I was stuck with this "problem", then after fumbling and moving and stablizing things, then Windows works? See below for details. I've finally reinstalled both hard drives, but the one with the Linux partition doesn't work: it says nothing is discovered on the disk. I can't login at the LUKS login after grub starts, therefore I can't get into Linux, but Windows works?! I used to be able to go directly into Grub when the computer starts, I forgot how to do that but it doesn't matter. If you need details I'd be glad to provide them. I just wondered why Linux doesn't work, but Windows does. I have Linux & Windows on two different separate hard drives
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a netbook, on which I installed the netbook remix. It had ran fine until one day, I shut it down while it was updating. Now, on bootup, it will take me to the login screen and then basically freezes. The keyboard and mouse do not work and I cannot login to any profile. I tried a clean reinstall, but it only finds the preferences I have and sends me right back to the login screen.

View 9 Replies View RelatedEvery time I reboot or shutdown my PC, the login window shortly pops up. The PC does shutdown or reboot normally afterwards. When I use the terminal to shutdown/reboot (sudo shutdown -h now or sudo reboot) all goes well. The PC is running Debian Squeeze with the GNOME desktop environment.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a workstation with Fedora 13. This workstation is used for very long remote processes. Recently it has been shutdown accidentally by a user and has caused the loss of some of these processes. As such, for precautionary reasons, I have decided to remove these options from all our workstations so that only the super user can initiate reboots or shutdowns.
In previous versions I was able to do this by using gdmsetup and unchecking the Show Action Menu option. This also added the SystemMenu=false flag under [greeter] in the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file. This was under RedHat EL5. However in Fedora 13 neither of these methods work. Gdmsetup no longer exists and adding that flag to the custom.conf file does not work. I rebooted after editting the file and the shutdown option still appears at login.
I am running Opensuse 11.3 which had the KDE desktop loaded by default. I have since installed the Gnome desktop which I access via the log in screen whenever I want to use it.
One thing that is annoying me is that whenever I load gnome I am unable to shut down the computer directly from the gnome panel.
When I click the shutdown button, I want the computer to shut down, but rather gnome exits into the login screen and it is from there that I need to click the shutdown button in order to shutdown the computer.
Is there a way to avoid this and be able to shutdown from the gnome panel?
I do not want to uninstall KDE as a solution, I would like the flexibility of having both desktops.

I know that there is a nice little launcher that will run the script for Grub to select a menu option upon shutdown for a reboot [URL]
I however would like to use this from Windows XP and have grub select menu item 2 during a reboot. Does anyone know if there is any way to set Grub commands from within Windows?
I have installed a cluster computer with 10 nodes . The manufacturer is HP . All nodes and the master node have redhat enterprise linux installed in them . When I shutdown the nodes from the master terminal using "shutdown -h now" they get shutdown . But they dont get completely turned off . This issue bothers me when the power supply is given , all nodes boot up simultaneously generating a huge heat .
Thing to note : When we shutdown our PC they get completely turned off . When the power supply is given , a press on the Power On button is required to boot the system. But , why does it not happpen in the case of cluster? Is there any other way of completely turning off the nodes from the master terminal ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a vista/ubuntu system. I tried to restart the computer into vista and it came up grub rescue. I did what someone suggested and typed in grub rescue> set prefix=(hd0,5)/boot/grub grub rescue> insmod (hd0,5)/boot/grub/normal.mod rescue:grub> normal Anyway that got me into a menu where the ubuntu server is. I chose it and it sends me into tty1 where it asks for my login My login when the machine used to come up log/pass was dan/mypass
but in the tty1 it says login incorrect. I need to get back into my server. I'm not sure why it's messed up. So how do I do it.
Recently I installed vncserver (tigervnc) on my desktop. Ever since my computer refuses to shutdown normally. At shutdown the following message pops up: Quote: System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in Then I have to enter the root password to shutdown. If I stop vncserver before, the computer shuts down normally.

I cant shutdown without running sudo shutdown. When I try to use the default gnome shut down it takes me back to the logon screen. Fresh install today and I've had the same problem on other installs.

I have included Shutdown/Startup in dbora, so that Oracle 10gR2 Shutdown/Startup will be automated during OS Shutdown/Startup.
I want to check Shutdown log because Oracle Shutdown was not running, as from $ORACLE_HOME/shutdown.log contains no entries, where as startup log contains latest startup details.
That means here 2 issues are there. One, I want to locate OS Shutdown Log and the other being Why Oracle Shutdown not getting executed.
I installed windows 7 and recover grub from the karmic livecd successfully. Now I can access all the OS in my machine. The only weird issue that I have is that there's no login promote in tty1-6 any more. When I switch to tty1-6, I can only see a flashing underline promote. But I can input anything in tty1-6. How to get tty1-6 back?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora on a separate partition and during the install prompts forgot to uncheck the Grub installation. So, Fedora installed with Grub 1 (imagine that) although I was able to find instructions to upgrade it to Grub 2 (plus it recognized all the OS on the computer). So far so good, I don't have a preference whether Fedora's or Ubuntu's Grub is installed, however the Ubuntu Startup Splash screen is messed up, ie. a simple purple background with "Ubuntu" in system fonts. Is there a way to fix this back to the graceful default splash screen? Can I change back the Grub to be Ubuntu's?
View 4 Replies View RelatedEver since the intro of Grub2, on the main Log-in screen, there is a "User" listed at the bottom of whoever is listed on the Users Log-in. Just what or who is this used for?. If it is 'clicked' on, then it asks for a password, as if 'it' is some kind of "user". But, as I don't know just what 'it' is for, therefore I also don't know 'its' password either.
View 3 Replies View RelatedFirst happened after the installation of VirtualBox OSE. Freezes right afterStarting GNOME Display Manager: gdm3and, in one instance, on the following line. Doesn't accept input and the cursor stops blinking on either state. VirtualBox's drivers are one of the closest lines to the last one and, in one instance, one of these lines reported an error. I can boot recovery mode and have already removed VirtualBox. Given it was installed with a live netinst CD image (on a USB stick) and I have a history of bad installations with this image, I'll try to install the normal CD image, although this will take some time.
