Trev, Either your mobo/bios does not support power-off on shutdown, or it's not enabled in MDK (there's probably a gui tool to enable it, under "power management").
Your blank screens are normal behaviour for shutdown. If all you wanted to do was logout, so you can log back in as a different user, do not choose the "shutdown" option. >Trev wrote: >> >> Shutting down from MDK 8.1 the screen go's blank, then after a few seconds i >> get a patten of blocks (no text) but it shuts down ok. >> >> This happens from Gnome shutdown/logout and from the login. >> >> Thanks >> Trevor > >I have now realized that CTRL ALT F1...F7 also has a blank screen.
