Also having a similar issue with xfce4. When using shutdown -h now in |
| 59 |
command line, there is no response from machine. When shutting down |
| 60 |
using xfce4 icon machines returns to login screen. No messages are |
| 61 |
produced in system log other than shutdown. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
I use nvidia-drivers on my laptop and have had no problem |
| 64 |
until upgrading to latest kernel 2.6.29-gentoo-r5. Assume I am missing |
| 65 |
something in kernel config but everything else works ok. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Init 0 does nothing either so maybe there is a clue there |
