KDE doesn't shutdown.

ZeroLinux · 2013-06-04 17:51:05

When I try to make shutdown in KDE it goes to login string like tty1
I found that I don't have shutdown command in my system.
How can I install it - shutdown, reboot, poweroff?

How are you trying to shutdown - using some KDE menu or the commandline?

Hi, yep, the exact problem I had yesterday after the filesystem changes, except i saved these files (halt and the symlinks poweroff,reboot, etc) from old /sbin and copied them to the new /usr/bin ...
but as karol suggested (thank you by the way, i didn't know this either),

pkgfile halt
core/systemd-sysvcompat
core/sysvinit

pkgfile reboot
core/systemd-sysvcompat
core/sysvinit

if you are missing these commands, maybe try to reinstall these packages?

Please update your pkgfile db, sysvinit is not in the repos anymore.

Thanks a lot!

So the solution to get reboot and poweroff in the KDE menu back is what exactly? Because reinstalling systemd-sysvcompat did not work for me.

The files are all there, so I don't see what KDE's problem is:

$ ll /usr/bin/|grep systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root          9 30. Mai 14:55 halt -> systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root          9 30. Mai 14:55 poweroff -> systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root          9 30. Mai 14:55 reboot -> systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root          9 30. Mai 14:55 runlevel -> systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root          9 30. Mai 14:55 shutdown -> systemctl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root     301240 30. Mai 14:55 systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root          9 30. Mai 14:55 telinit -> systemctl

That's why I asked OP what exactly the problem was: KDE menu or commands enteredd in the terminal.
I have no idea how to fix KDE. Maybe you should open a new thread, but search the forums first.

Morn · 2013-06-04 20:18:01

Maybe my mistake was doing yesterday's updates from the KDE terminal. I should really have dropped to the console for that. Now KDE is probably angry with me for changing the filesystem layout beneath its big, bloated behind. KDE did produce quite a few error messages when I logged out after the update, so maybe that has something to do with this bug.

Oh well, as long as I can still log out and suspend from the KDE menu, I guess it's not an important issue.

Unlikely

Nice anthropomorphism.

KDE did produce quite a few error messages when I logged out after the update,

Specifically?

Also, most importantly, how are you starting KDE?

karol · 2013-06-04 21:10:21

@ElNinijo
Have you tried the systemctl way? Do you have systemd-sysvcompat installed?

With "startx".

Yesterday's update also caused KDE to display a blank background instead of the usual contents of ~/Desktop. It took some fiddling with KDE's settings to get all my desktop icons back. So I think yes, it's quite possible that yesterday's KDE error messages on logout and the subsequent problems might be related somehow.

Okay, lets take a look at your ~/.xinitrc file and ensure that it does not have any consolekit floobydust left in it.

Morn · 2013-06-04 23:14:02

$ cat .xinitrc 
[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

rm -fr ~/.adobe

redshift -l 53:10 -t 6500:4000 &

xset -dpms; xset s off

conky &

#setxkbmap -layout de; exec wmaker

exec startkde

#exec gnome-session

ewaller · 2013-06-04 23:33:44

I don't think you are starting dbus.
From my system (Note that this is not my ~.xinitrc, but rather the skeleton in /etc.

ewaller$@$odin /etc/skel [2]1016 %ls /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d
30-dbus  40-libcanberra-gtk-module  pulseaudio  xdg-user-dirs
ewaller$@$odin /etc/skel 1017 %cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
ewaller$@$odin /etc/skel 1018 %

The loop at the top starts the things in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d, including dbus.

You might try exec dbus-launch startkde instead of your last command (assuming you have a good reason for not wanting to start the stuff in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d)

Systemd seems to start dbus:

I can also see dbus quitting when I exit KDE. But I'll try your suggestion just in case.

Its a known bug with Kde. You have to start it through KDM or patch it to have shutdown and reboot in the menu.
