System shutdown problem

[mackowiakp]

From time to time, my PC does not want to shutdown completely by using <power-off> button from M3 mail menu. I think it is probably hardware related problem (I use Assus mainboard - quad-core Intel CPU). But <init 0> from root console always downs PC. So is any way to change default action of <power-off> button from M3 menu to <init 0> and run it as ordinary user?

What happens if you run 'init 0' as root or sudo?

[mackowiakp]

It downs PC normally. Every time.

You could add a custom launcher, which runs init 0 ...

Hmmm. I created script called "stop" located in home dir of this user:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
/bin/sudo /sbin/init 0

It works from console as ordinary users and down the system. So sudoers are configured correctly.
But when I created icon on desktop with link to run such script - it does not work. Any idea why?

The desktop file is as follows:

Code: Select all

[maciek@piotr Desktop]$ cat STOP.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment[pl]=Zatrzymuje system
Comment=Zatrzymuje system
Exec=/home/maciek/Pobrane/stop
GenericName[pl]=STOP
GenericName=STOP
Icon=system-shutdown
MimeType=
Name[pl]=STOP
Name=STOP
Path=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

ls -al /home/maciek/Pobrane/stop

[isadora]

So You have:

Code: Select all

[maciek@piotr ~]$ ls -al /home/maciek/Pobrane/stop
-rwxr--r-- 1 maciek maciek 221 maj 29 09:28 /home/maciek/Pobrane/stop*

And now, the script "stop" consist of:

Code: Select all

[maciek@piotr ~]$ cat Pobrane/stop
#!/bin/bash
S=`Xdialog --timeout 30 --fixed-font --title "Zatrzymanie systemu" --yesno "Czy NATYCHMIAST wyłączyć system?" 8 85 2>/dev/null`
if [ $? -eq "1" ]
then
        exit
else
        /bin/sudo /sbin/init 0

And it can be run by clicking icon on desktop but it is necessary to run it in "terminal mode" setup in desktop icon definition.
So I have empty console as background for Xdialog graphical content...
fi

Well, does it work now or not?

[mackowiakp]

Work, but I have to run this script ONLY in "terminal mode", so additionally blank console is displayed on the desktop. Can it bi run without displaying such console?
