Shutdown option in gnome-session



Hi,

I have installed kde3 and gnome2 on my box. I use kdm to load desktop
sessions. There is no shutdown option available in gnome-session. How
do I get shutdown & reboot options working in gnome-session.

Best,

Dave

Please pardon my typo, I am just a kid.

Perhaps you have to uncomment the next line from visudo:

# %users  localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now

Hi
     I have always shutdown OPenBSD,linux,solaris is   through the
command line
     here is some info to help you shutdown your system. really, to use
openbsd or any unix like os  is through the cmd line.
     I recommend reading the openbsd faq and some real unix books, not
those "learn unix in 10 days "type books, but  text books type.

      http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=shutdown&se[..]

    Regards

If you're running 4.8 and you  have a decent motherboard with ACPI, just
press the power button. This should run a clean shutdown.

Hi Edward:

Thanks for replying and educating me. I know how to shutdown from
command line or otherwise. There seems to be lack of functionality
with gnome if user opts for different dm. I can tweak it right in
Linux but I am not familiar with BSD userland. I have done this on
openSUSE and Ubuntu. I just cant find gnome-session/logout.c in here.
There I can tweak gnome-session and make it sane.

Best,

David

There is no lack of functionnality.
Read the doc that comes with the packages and you'll see that you need
to enable consolekit to do what you want.
