    Cannot shut down system

    Hi All
    Shutting down ,logging out does not work since last night .I get the option dialogue turns up, choose shut down/log out and then nothing. Been halting in terminal.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    This sometimes happens to me too. No clue what's going on.

    The other thing that happens to me is I will shut down, and it will actually shut down... But stay turned on at the VERY last shutdown phase. So, I just press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and it goes the rest of the way, but with a restart! Then, I have to manually turn it off once it starts back up again to complete the shutdown.

      Ctrl+Alt+Delete does not work here .The only thing that will work is hibernate and switch user ? Halting only via terminal . Tried withe earlier kernels but get the same thing .
      Any ideas ?

        Bump. Having the same problem since my reinstall. Anyone with any clues? I have been rebooting and halting in terminal as well.

              Hi there
              I should of updated this thread as I fixed my problem with not being able to shut down . Got side tracked by a similar thread over at the hard ware forum http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...pic=3108706.15
              I fixed it by Reinstalling the following packages:
              kubuntu-desktop (1.154) .

                Thanks for the replies, bossa. Not sure if I did it right, but it didn't work for me. I marked it in Synaptic as reinstall package and tried that to no avail. Should I have removed it another way first?

                  IIRC there was a bug in the KDM that shipped with 4.3.2

                  Can I suggest you update to 4.3.4 following the instructions at http://www.kubuntu.org/

                  That may well solve your problem.
