Re: Option to shut down computer missing

Type the whole command as given! From beginning to end.

I dont quite know where to look for error messages

"shutdown: time expected" is an error message.

Use

now

as the time.

Re: Option to shut down computer missing

OK seems to be fixed now .
Reinstalled the following packages:
kubuntu-desktop (1.154) . Noting something dibl said earlier in this thread

I guess maybe I've have to contemplate reinstalling the kubuntu-desktop

. I must have broken something along the way . I also reset everything in login manager to default I had already done this earlier but did it again for good measure.

Hi,

Found a way to fix the issue on the Ubuntu forums: the post from a couple of weeks ago can be found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...hutdown+option

In short, switching to kdm seems to fix things: someone on the forum has apparently reported it as a bug.

Cheers,

Blair

Re: Option to shut down computer missing

Dibl asked you to input sudo shutdown -r now

The "now" is part of the command - it specifies the time parameter that -r expects. Do the same for sudo shutdown -h now

Make sure you include "now" (without quotes) as part of the command entry as a parameter.
