shutdown not in k menu

[pinghacker]

Can anyone tell me why the kmenu has only logout. I need to go back to the login screen to shutdown. I have been looking for this in the settings with no luck.

I am runny Edgy.

I am running 6.06 and shut down is first thing at bottom of menu. It is last one under actions: which include run, switch users, lock session, and shut down. Do you have actions at bottom of Kmenu?

When I click on Log Out I get several choices including shut down. Try it and see what you get. One choice is also cancel so it should not create any problem.

And if you don't see the choices...check on SystemSettings>Advanced>SessionManager that 'Offer shutdown options' is checked.

Yes, the box is checked.

Under the log choice do you get an option for shutdown or turn off as well as end session?

Re: shutdown not in k menu

Yes, the box is checked.

Then also check on SystemSettings>Advanced>LoginManager>AdminMode that on the Shutdown tab:

Allow Shutdown/Local is set to 'Everybody'

I have the same problem in kubuntu feisty herd 4.
I only get a LOG OUT option, nothing else.
I have checked the suggestions here but I still only get the "log out" option.

I saw that once when I was logged in to Herd 4 as "root", while installing the Nvidia proprietary driver. But every time I do my normal user login through the X server window, I get the normal Kmenu log out options.

Re: shutdown not in k menu

Solved it. I was still running the gnome display manager as default. Changed it to kdm and now I get the different choices when pressing "log out".

from gnome terminal I wrote: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm

Now it works.
