sudo shutdown now
command does not shut the computer down
When the command is typed a, all the programs are closed and proceeds to shut down. But after some time, screen gets stuck(plymouth animation stops moving). But the computer is still working. Fan is running , Power LED is on. LED showing hard disk usage blinks at equal time interval. There is no problem in shutting down using the button on panel. So I suppose it is not a hardware problem. More over there is no problem in windows. The graphics card is Nvidia Geforce 7300GS. I am using proprietary Nvidia driver.

Code:
[sam@system43~]$sudo /sbin/fdisk -l
Password: But in ubuntu, after the same configuration being done, what sam needs to do is:
Code:
[sam@somesystem43~]$sudo fdisk -l
Password: ***
That means, in ubuntu the user need not type the full path of the command. I wish to know how can I make red hat system work like ubuntu as far as the sudo usage is concerned.
Seems like this is a running issue. also, sudo returns "The value user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported" kdeusu just makes a noise and returns nothing.. In the past i had a workaround of using nautilus, but, nautilus seems to be missing from jessie repo (same for gnome files).

There was also [URL] .... which only mentions using kdesu which... doesn't really 'exist' anymore.
