Re: Laptop wont shut down
For curiosity sake, next time open a Konsole window and enterand let's see whether it provides any errors.Code:sudo shutdown now -r
Also, rather than use the power button, I recommend you follow this:

Re: Laptop wont shut down
I'm having this same problem on my desktop. After shutting down, I get a blank, black screen and I have to momentarily hit the power button for the shutdown procedure to complete.Comment

Re: Laptop wont shut down
Hi dibl,
I tried the command that you gave and it shutdown and restarted properly. Any idea why it doesn't do this with the Icon?

Re: Laptop wont shut down
It sounds like a KDE bug, since it works correctly from the command line but not from the GUI. You might search Launchpad and see if there is already a bug filed.Comment

I'll go ahead and see if I can find anything there. Thanks!

hi,
In my case the same problem happens if ATI driver (closed source) is installed (via ENVY).
By removing it, PC works fine. So I do not think it is so much KDE problem.

Re: Laptop wont shut down
I wish it was so easy for me. I'm using the standard open source flgrx drivers that come with Kubuntu and I still have this problem
I even tried installing the restricted drivers, but I get the same thing.

Re: Laptop wont shut down
ok.
let me explain my problem a little bit more:
1. I had Kubuntu 7.10 and made installation of beta 8.04 over it
2. I have found that after that (installation of ENVY driver once again) notebook refuses to shut down or log out or restart ( but it restarts after installation ATI drivers in ENVY)
3. removing the ATI driver via ENVY notebook starts ok with VESA driver even made reboot, shut down etc
4. Upper post reportsthat even with OS ATI drivers problem somehow exists
5. On my notebook there is option to start with kernel 2.6.24-16 or 2.6.22-14. With last one notebook starts and shutdowns fine
to finish:
We need confirmation that this occures with upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 if there is ATI driver installed
We need some solution to safely remove all ATI components from older release and made instaltion of new one
- or -
We need confirmation that with fresh clean install of 8.04 such a problem is none existing

Re: Laptop wont shut down
Its the ati driver. I have the exact same problem. If fglrx is installed, blank screen upon shutdown, but works from command line. Ati driver uninstalled, no problem with shutdown or reboot. I have seen that ati has a new driver out, 8.4. According to their release info, one of the fixes is that you no longer get a blank screen upon leaving Xserver. I have not installed it yet so i can't confirm if it fixes the shutdown or reboot hang.Comment

Re: Laptop wont shut down
The quick fix to this is

Re: Laptop wont shut down
What exactly does this do?

It stops atieventsd from starting at startup. It's better to use the patch from the bug report I linked to two posts up.Originally posted by GumperComment
