Dual boot system with WIN 7. Up until the last group of package upgrades I believe system worked fine. Now when rebooting system doesn't go to grub menu on total shut down and reboot. or when trying to use KDE menu. System does log off. I remember this problem being a KDE issue back a few years ago. Has it cropped back up or is it just something on my system.

Well, how do you usually reboot or shutdown, if you don't use the KDE menu, e.g. what exact commands do you use?
And when you say system does log off, what exactly happens? X server shuts down and you get a login on a tty / text terminal?

Also, it would help if you could provide the last lines of log from the last boot (where your box did not shutdown). E.g. for the previous boot, use as root:

Code: Select all: journalctl -ab-1 | tail -750

to get the last 750 lines of log, and please post them here using code tags as explained in ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv

I have this now and then, I suspect it is an update causing it. To get around it I open a terminal (usually open all the time on my machines) and then I simply shutdown (-h for halt) or reboot (-r for reboot) as root. To do this:

Code: Select all: su - shutdown -h now

or

Code: Select all: su - shutdown -r now

Thanks for the reply guys, just back in from work. Upon further examination this seems to be a KDE problem. System executes fine out of a terminal on the shut down and reboot commands and grub works when that's used. Out of the graphic interface with KDE the shut down and restart commands don't work at all when clicked on but the sleep and hibernate commands do, kinda odd but not a washout, just an annoyance more than anything, I guess. It's late here now and got to get started early tomorrow, so I'll pick this up later and get back on what I find out. Thanks again.

Seems like you're both missing an update to either systemd or polkit, see either https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16396 or viewtopic.php?p=59728#p59728 for some context

Please both of you post the output as your normal user of

Looks all good, you have a policykit user agent running, polkit system daemon is running, and your logind session is considered as active.

Please show the output of

Code: Select all: pkexec whoami (you need to enter the root password in the authentication dialog that pops up) qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer

and please mention what login manager you use (KDM, sddm, ... ? )

Not sure which login manager, It's a DVD install with kde, so I suspect kdm.

But it seems to only occur after an update, but after a couple of boots, it's all good.

Then please try as normal user

Code: Select all: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 2 2

for a logout and shutdown of your computer. Details in KDE forums https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=88022
and here: http://majewsky.wordpress.com/2009/07/1 ... om-remote/
and for the parameters: http://api.kde.org/4.4-api/kdebase-work ... 4b8f2d7c03

If you cannot reliably reproduce it, I'm afraid there's not much that can be done to fix it - you would have to investigate the root cause first yourself.
And please read the abovementioned post for the recent polkit issues. As both are fixed, once you have all updates to that date - then those two issues that were reported are not your issue.

It it reoccurs, please capture the information asked via viewtopic.php?p=60284#p60284

Still same problems even after polkit update, don't know what's going on but still looking, Everything works out of command line.

There's no polkit user agent running, only the system daemon - that is your problem. Please show the output of

What happens when you run the kde polkit agent from a terminal?

Code: Select all: /usr/$(rpm -E %_lib)/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1

In another terminal then try

Code: Select all: pkexec whoami (you need to enter the root password in the authentication dialog that pops up)

going in to check gui, back shortly

Well, MCC is working now from the menu and panel bar, but still no shutdown or restart without going to a terminal. Odd that the sleep and hibernate commands on the menu work but the restart and shutdown won't. It's almost like the background panel bar is interfering with it. Still looking for an answer.

Please show the output of

Code: Select all: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer

as a normal user. You can also attempt a logout and shutdown via

Code: Select all: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 2 2

You might need to install qt4-qtdbus for qdbus.

Don't see anything in the above but Having no problems shutting down or rebooting from terminal. Seems to be a KDE problem.

What is the result for that when run as your normal user?

The result here is nothing happens at all.

Then something seems broken either with your dbus session or with ksmserver. Can you run kdebugdialog and enable all debug outputs there?
Then please try again, and see whether you get some output or at least some entries in ~/.xsession-errors.
And after you run that qdbus command again, please also provide the output as root of

I think that got it all, too many windows open at times.

Nope, not at all. ~/.xsession-errors is a log file, you tried to execute it.
And you can't run qdbus under root as there's no dbus session bus for root and also no KDE session.

Please try again as normal user, and in doubt attach your ~/.xsession-errors file here - although might need to copy and rename it to .txt as the forum software may refuse to add an attachment with no suffix.

X sessions file is too large to send , 89000 characters
Here's qdbus as user
