How to shutdown directly from KDE

fetreney2000 · 2005-02-01 05:36:32

I install Arch about a week ago and use KDE as my desktop manager and kdm as my display manager. My problem is everytime I choose turn off the computer from KDE it will only shutdown the X window and bring me to the console. From there I have to manually type shutdown -h now to shutdown the computer.

Is there any way I could shutdown the computer directly from KDE when I choose to turn off the computer like most of the liveCD distro do?

I can shutdown directly from KDE so it's probably a configuration problem. How do you start kdm? Are you starting it with /etc/inittab ?

I load kdm module from rc.conf. BTW I already solve this problem, apparently I forgot to allow normal user to shutdown the system.
Sorry for the trouble

This is a very nice community...
