Hi folks

After I installed 11.0 a few months ago I noticed that KDE (3.5) would not
shut down from the start menu - the screen goes blank and then the machine
hangs. I had to login as root and issue the shutdown command to shut down
the machine.

I understood from a posting here that this was an issue with the Catalyst
drivers, but after upgrading to 11.1 and the latest Catalyst (8.12) the
problem still persists (I'm staying with KDE 3.5). Clearly, there's a
process that's refusing to shut down, but it is not possible to see what
that could be when you're halfway through the shutdown process and the
screen is blank.

Only a niggle really, but I would be grateful for any suggestions.

I have a similar problem with 11.0. When I go to shutdown from KDE 3.5,
it brings up the KDE 4.0 login screen, then I can shutdown my PC.
Installed KDE 4.1 on my 11.1 installation, so I can't comment on that
situation,

It appears that you are going to get some KDE 4 products even if you
only want KDE 3.5, and from what I've seen so far, I'm not too thrilled
with openSUSE 11.1 or KDE 4.1, but I've only installed it once so far.

Photorec works great at recovering lost jpg's though :). If only I had
csv's, since it randomly renames the recovered files. Too bad it doesn't
do avi's.

Just a thought (see my other post a couple of minutes ago), can you
start with Runlevel 1 (or 2 or 3)? If things hang after
"Starting jexec services"
then reboot (.ctrl. .alt. .del. does it) and kill jexec via YaST ->
system -> Runlevel.

Thanks for the suggestion - however, jexec is not running on my system, in
fact, it's not even in the runlevel list. System starts normally in
runlevel 3.

Thx
