Trivial question on an irritating feature

2006-01-04 Thread Leslie Jensen


Hi

I'm using KDE and my problem is that when I want to finish and shutdown 
my PC, I use the little red button log out and there is only the 
choice of ending the current session and it only takes me back to the 
log in dialog. I would like to have the reboot and shutdown options as well.

Any suggestions on how I fix this?

Thanks
Leslie

Control Center  KDE Components  Session Manager
Control Center  System Administration  Login Manager

You need to use KDM for it to work... add the following line to /etc/ttys:
ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon xterm on secure

then run (as root): genkdmconf

Then go back into Login Manager and at the bottom you will see
Administrator Mode, click on it and enter roots password. Now use
Login Manager to configure KDM... Save the settings and then use
shutdown now to start KDM.
