[newbie] Log Off/Reboot/Halt

2005-03-27 Thread Jason Oakley
When I want to log off, the only option I have is LOG OFF. There's no 
Reboot or Halt option.

Randomly (it seems) I get the dragon log off/reboot/halt menu, but not 
very often.

I can go into the settings and set SHUTDOWN to EVERYONE (after logging 
back in as root. That is, log off, log in as root, set it to EVERYONE, 
log out).

I can select REBOOT but I get a blank page appear with two buttons at 
the bottom of it (REBOOT and CANCEL iirc). Hitting REBOOT many times 
does nothing at all. I can hit CANCEL then HALT and that works.

This happens every time I boot up. I have to go through it all over 
again cos MDK doesn't remember my settings.

Hmm.
Dropped the security level as per a suggestion for another of my 
problems (USB Mouse) and now I get the Dragon log off/reboot screen 
all the time.
I guess it doesn't always pay to have Security set very high ;)
