[SOLVED] MATE won't shut down
Hi,
I just installed Mate from MATE's official repository and E17 from official repository.
Why can't I reboot and shutdown from System menu in MATE but I can do it in E17?
In order to do that I have to open a terminal and give "reboot" or "poweroff"...
Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] MATE won't shut down
This could simply be a problem in MATE from a recent update. This is Archlinux, as soon as a package gets updated it gets pushed. It is unlikely that E17 could have messed with MATE's shutdown function. Are you logging into the root account in MATE? I have heard that causes issues.
It always makes me laugh when people complain and rage over any distro's management ideal, when this is a linux community, and you could always make your own distro and experience the pains yourself.

So I only have to wait?
No, I don't login into root account, I only use it when I use sudo.

Re: [SOLVED] MATE won't shut down
You can try the command
sudo shutdown -h now
and see if it hangs. If it doesnt you have a way of shutting down without it hanging.

Re: [SOLVED] MATE won't shut down
No: "won't shutdown" means that there is no button for shutdown. It doesn't mean that shutdown hangs.
My problem is that there is no button for shutdown in MATE and I don't know why!

Re: [SOLVED] MATE won't shut down
