Hello,


I am happy with the stability and speed of Fedora Core 4 Test 2.

However, after updating with Yum there is no "shutdown" option in Gnome nor KDE anymore.

I have all the latest updates on my machine.


How can I get it fixed ?


Thanks in advance !

I have the same problem too
This is what I got from the fedora development list.

Hi,

>> As the subject says, applying the latest updates i seem to have lost
>> the ability to select shutdown from gdm login screen and gnome logout
>> dialog. The reboot option remains.

Yea that's a bug that I fixed a while ago and reverted yesterday on
accident.

If you don't want funnies and weirdos on a weekly basis, don't run the development branch. It's like riding a train over tracks that are still being laid...

Thanks for the answer, jarifed.

Hope they will fix that soon.

Till fixing, I shut down manually :

sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now


I will install Fedora Rawhide onto my laptop. Let's see how it works. :cool:

After a new update of GDM.

Shutdown option is visible again :)

Try simply halt -p

You can create a .desktop file with the above command, so that you can just double click to shutdown

And it calls shutdown, unless it encounters some sort of error

What version of GDM do you have now?
