Before, i had Ubuntu installed and it turned it off properly, so i had nothing to care about...I just press the button and wait for it to shut down the system. I tried with debian, and it did the right thing too...why is not possible to ...

Or how to get from gnome back to kde. Anyhelp anyone please. And thanks in advance. I'll continue to search and check ...
