any ideas?

Did you did this:

Note however that GRUB_DEFAULT=saved should be set in /etc/default/grub so that /boot/grub/grub.cfg contains set default=”${saved_entry}” (required for grub-reboot’s voodoo stuff).

Re: kdm + grub2

yeah, did that too, still no go. I get the little down arrow like there's a menu there but when i click it it just does the restart

Re: kdm + grub2

Do you have another OS installed -- does it appear on the boot menu?

You need to choose Grub2 as bootloader in the KDM setup. Go to System Settings->Login Screen. Somewhere, there's a pull down menu where you can choose Grub2 as bootloader.

Re: kdm + grub2

did you run 'update-grub' afterwards?

yup.

and even made sure it updated

Code:

buzzmandt@buzzmandt-Compaq-Presario-CQ60-Notebook-PC:~$ cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep default
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
set default="${saved_entry}"

Re: kdm + grub2

i've got the little drop down arrow like you do on both shutdown and restart, just like yours, but clicking restart only restarts.

Re: kdm + grub2

here's the grub files, please see if you can find something amiss

here's /etc/default/grub
