Shutdown in KDEmod

Jankosevic · 2008-07-13 10:53:16

Hello!

I don't wanna use a login manager. So I start KDEmod via "startx" (.xinitrc)
But if I want to shutdown or reboot the computer, there are no options in KDEmod. I can only choose to logout (= quit KDEmod).
Then I can halt in the console.....but it's quite uncomfortable....

Perhaps someone could help?
Thx!

It depends on the login manager to enable users to restart/suspend/shutdown, because of permissions to do so (the login manager runs as privileged user). Either use a login manager, or halt on terminal.

actually i'm using e17 and i can shutdown/restart/suspend without any quirk from within the menu, without using a login manager. so i think, it will be possible, but why the kde and gnome devs did not realize that?

it's probably not about realizing anything its just that both gnome and kde are developed to be used with its corrsesponding login manager so they have never bothered adding code to enable shutdown/restart from menu when it's not started with login manager

You can also halt from a Konsole / xterm, without quiting kde.

Edit: If you do that, I think some settings, like which applications
you had open, and maybe changes to display/theme/etc. might not
get saved.

try this

#!/bin/bash
dcop ksmserver default logout 0 -1 -1
sudo shutdown now -h

chmod executable and add it to the menu
